Album Notes

John Padovano performs solo year round along the Jersey shore (USA) at coffeehouses and cafes. He was born in Newark, New Jersey (USA) and then moved to the shore area where he recorded and released eleven independent albums. His 7th collection of songs THE RETURN OF RAINY DAY HOBO was recorded on one afternoon, live in-studio without over-dubs. All 24 songs on this CD were written by Padovano.

Review From MUZIQ For EVERYONE:By Natalie Adis

John Padovano

(The Return Of The Rainy Day Hobo)

This man truly is a folk/acoustic genius. He will amaze you when you hear his voice along with his muical talents and lyrics. His CD "The Return Of The Rainy Day Hobo" will have you feel as if your in a calm setting like a small lounge/local cafe. This music is great and different in many wonderful ways.

Excerpt From ATLANTICVILLE 2003, By Gloria Stravelli

"Their stories are intertwined: the fiercely independent blues singer whose community has changed around him and the character invented by John Anthony Padovano who can't seem to find his place."

"The Jersey Shore blues singer/songwriter has just released his seventh collection of songs."

"The Return of the Rainy Day Hobo is a folk-blues opera about a wandering laborer/musician, and is in large measure autobiographical."
