Bio

John Sweeney is a singer/songwriter from the small, coastal town of Leland, NC, just south of Wilmington. He spent most of his early years surfing the coast of NC, traveling from Wrightsville Beach to the Outer Banks, whenever he found the time. After graduating high school, he attended East Carolina University and then UNC-Chapel Hill for dental school. Relatively new to the music scene, John began playing guitar during his freshmen year of dental school, back in 2001. Soon after receiving a guitar from his wife Kim, he began writing songs to help relieve the stress associated with school. John returned home to Leland, NC, following dental school, where he resides with his wife, daughter, and son and practices dentistry. He continues to relieve the stresses of daily life through surfing and writing music, playing his music for audiences whenever possible. With influences that include Bob Marley, Donavon Frankenreiter, Peter Tosh, Stevie Ray Vaughn, xavier rudd, and Ben Harper, his music reaches across genre lines from folk to blues and reggae. His lyrics are thought-provoking and often deal with many of the social and political struggles we face as human beings. John’s heartfelt lyrics allow listeners to see into is soul and leave nothing uncovered.
