John Witherspoon is a singer/songwriter chiefly inspired by icons Dylan, Paul Simon and The Beatles. The principals behind the craft are old-school, and it is these principals on which his 2020 album ‘Showin’ Up Startin Again’ stands so firmly. The Liverpool artist released four singles in 2016 under the moniker Flynn’s Piece, produced by Tony Draper at Liverpool’s Parr Street Studios. The guitar sounds of 90’s stars like Oasis, Blur, Stereophonics and Cast heavily informed John’s early work, and still permeate the songs today. In 2018 Witherspoon worked on the songs that would become “Showin’ Up..,” and the debut LP was produced and mixed by Alec Brits at The Cabin, also in Liverpool. Bolstered by the brilliance of top session guitarist Scott Poley and keyboardist Henry Burnett, each single release saw Witherspoon draw sizeable crowds. After another intense writing period in summer 2020, he returned to The Cabin, where work on album number two is ongoing.
