Forget Nothing
Live the Moment is an appropriate tattoo for the singer songwriter John Chevallier. From when he first began playing music, John has always sought to find a balance between energy and creativity playing in many bands in Las Vegas. John found his passion in the floor shaking riffs and emotionally driven lyrics of alternative music coupled with the smooth sound of an acoustic guitar. With influences ranging from Eric Clapton to Weezer it is easy to see how he is able to strike a universal note in all music lovers. With a musical maturity that far surpasses his own, this outspoken musician is always serious about one thing, the music.
Why this name?
John Chevallier was first a Solo artist, but later just dropped John when he and is backing band start writing together.
Do you play live?
We love to play live! We mainly stay with in the midwest to the west coast, but we'll go wherever we are called upon.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's a lot easier for us independents to get our name and music out to the masses.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, So many doors are opened through labels.
Band History:
A Hope for Something Better, is the latest EP released from John as a solo artist. The
EP breaks out of the generic sound of todays popular music. Composing personal
lyrics, catchy melodies, and a driving energy that reminds of those days when songs
still had a meaning and purpose, with still a modern sound. Production was done at
Kalua Sound, Lucid Recording, and EVS Recording Studios in Las Vegas. The
response has been positive, catching the ear of many peers and opening doors for live
shows with such artists as Trust Company and others.
John�s backup band has the energy and experience that meshes great with John�s
unique sound. Kevin Full has been with John since the beginning. An accomplished
studio drummer, combines drum line precision with heart pounding grooves. Bassist
Vince Cormaci has that driving low end with a melodic feel. New addition Jake Delis
has been playing with musicians in and around Utah and Vegas for seven years.
Bringing a new dynamic to the band, Jake was a perfect fit.
