John de Roo
 

Biography

Greetings, friends and music lovers! I am a songwriter and storyteller, kind of a troubadour. I believe music is for expressing emotions and feeling free.
Your Huckleberry Friend,
John

John de Roo writes finely crafted lyrical ballads and story-songs in the American grain. Always poetic and keenly observant, at turns contemplative, bittersweet, and humorous, de Roo’s folk-blues have won acclaim in the Telluride Troubadour Contest, Tucson Folk Festival Songwriting Competition, and on NPR’s Car Talk. John hails from Kalamazoo, Michigan, and is now a citizen of the world.
