"Merge the vocal complexities of Stevie Wonder with the magnanimous presence of Chris Robinson and somewhere in between you'll find John." - The Boston Globe
Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, John Enghauser, delivers velvety-smooth vocal harmonies that soar over this infectious electro-acoustic package. John defies categorization and modern clichés with this latest effort. His sound is timeless and he writes completely organically making his music truly unique. As a critic describes him, "John has a uniquely broad appeal. His arrangements are so interesting that he makes even the musician's musician smile while his slew of hooks and melodies captivate the more casual listener".
John’s new CD “Lost in the Pages” is now getting international radio play in 12 countries abroad and growing. The list includes, but is not limited to, England, Australia, Germany, New Zealand, France and Canada. The U.S. release is scheduled for June, 2009.
John Enghauser has been on the original music scene since the mid 90's. Beginning with his band Jamawokee, a high octane 4-piece funk rock project which debuted in Massachusetts, John began honing his songwriting and frontman skills.
In the late 90's, John fronted his own original group, Jeng, where he wrote all of the material and whose potent live show grabbed the interest of record labels such as Columbia and Virgin Records. Around this time his credits also included his work as Music Supervisor on indie films "Urban Relics" and "When it Rains".
In 2000, Enghauser ventured westward where he landed in California. After several musical stints in San Francisco and Los Angeles, John has settled in the bay area where he continues to write, record and perform.
