Reflecting on our future with the grandkids

acoustic folk

John Matteson

Ive written hundreds of songs over the past 40 years. I love Jesus, the word of God, people and music. I play guitar, bass and sing. Thank you for listening!

My music is about the new life found in Jesus Christ. He is our access to the Father and is worthy of all praise and glory. He has taken our sins away by the selfless sacrifice of His death upon the cross. He is deserving of songs and worship. The sound of my music is influenced by the delta blues and artists that have followed through the 60s and 70s who have taken this music and written folk, Americana, and Rock n Roll. Thank you for listening to my songs, and also the collaboration projects, thank you to all who contributed to these songs..

And spend this day together 
We can write a brand new song
To make us all feel better

You are the one 
In our new house by the sea

Headed out on Highway One where you wanna go
Got to see the grandkids 
Just to say hello

Well have fun and play some games 
Run around in the park
You can be the little fish 
And I can be the shark
