John Hildreth's music is all at once intimate and expansive, sophisticated and simple, inspiring and unique. Hailing from Virginia’s New River Valley, the songwriter is equally at home on multiple instruments as he weaves stories about wild places, sentient creatures, faraway worlds, ghosts and the liminal spaces of the heart. His deep-tissue guitar work evokes the shimmering harmonies and percussive grooves of the late, great Michael Hedges, while his piano pop brings to mind the rich harmonies of Bruce Hornsby and the storytelling finesse of Joni Mitchell.
