Prestor John

In 2010 Prestor John was born from a mutual love of progressive rock and blues between classically-trained violist Jimmie Bryant (on drums) and self-taught guitarist Johnnie Hollis. Since it's creation, the band has lived and performed from Baton Rouge, LA to Salt Lake City, UT. The band has also welcomed Mitch Laing (bass) and Dennis Smith (drums) and now stands as a power trio with Bryant fronting the project.

Prestor John's live performances are fearless, as they perform via a large spectrum of sounds and tones while Jimmie Bryant's vocals offer a continuously evolving sonic explosion of self-expression. This allows them to work well in tandem with many different bands. Prestor has performed from New Orleans to Salt Lake City and shared the stage with notable artists Big John Bates, DiNola, Machina and Dax Riggs of Acid Bath among others.
