John Fellner
FRIDAY, JUNE 13 @ THE REDWOOD THEATRE (9PM)
John Fellner, a singer-songwriter from London, Ontario, blurs the boundaries between indie folk and R&B, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary. As an artist, John is known for his ability to capture the human experience in its most vulnerable and authentic form. His songs are not just stories, they’re emotional landscapes, blending delicate acoustic elements with the subtle rhythmic complexities of his production background.
John’s journey into the world of music started behind the scenes as a JUNO-nominated producer and songwriter, working with some of Canada’s top artists. However, it wasn’t until he began writing for himself that he discovered the deep, personal resonance that comes with creating music from his own experiences. His indie folk style pulls from a rich tapestry of influences, from the heartfelt lyricism of folk legends to the smooth grooves of R&B, resulting in a sound that feels intimate yet expansive.
What makes John’s music stand out is the emotional honesty embedded in every note. Whether it’s the gentle pluck of a guitar string or the layering of harmonies that spark the warmth of gospel, his work reflects an artist who is deeply in tune with his own emotional world. His thoughtful approach to songwriting makes it easy for listeners to connect, as if they can hear their own stories in his music.
For John, music is a way of making sense of life’s complexities. He doesn’t shy away from themes of love, pain, growth, and reflection; instead, he embraces them fully, using his craft to explore these emotions with nuance and depth. His songs are like open letters, honest conversations that pull listeners into his world and encourage them to reflect on their own.
