January 5, 2026A Heartfelt Independent Country Voice Rooted in Honesty
From the first time I talked to John Major I knew I was going to be a huge fan. From Backwoods outlaw to S.O.S, I have to say is an absolute triumph. It’s everything I hoped for and more.
His lyrics in all of his songs are a definite strong suit, telling a coherent and emotionally resonant story with vivid word pictures that create a clear backdrop for the narrative. The artist's ability to craft a narrative that feels both personal and relatable is excellent.
John Major is an independent country singer/songwriter captures the kind of raw emotion that made people fall in love with country music in the first place. Every song feels like a late-night confession—honest, vulnerable, and deeply human. The lyrics tell real stories of love, loss, and small-town truths, delivered with a voice that carries both strength and heartache. There’s a timeless country soul in the songwriting, paired with an unpolished sincerity that makes each track feel personal. You don’t just hear these songs—you feel them. This is authentic country music, written from the heart and meant to be lived with.
Raw, emotional, and unmistakably country—this is an artist you don’t want to overlook.

John was a huge hit when he played at my bar! I took a chance on hiring him and we packed the house and he delivered and put on a super fun, very energetic show. It was such a fun night! Highly recommend and can’t wait to have him back!

January 5, 2026Supreme showmanship!
I simply don't give 5 star reviews. That being said, you won't find a thimble full of better songwriters out of Nashville. That's right! I said it, and I stand by it. John played at several open mic nights before he left Mis'sippi for Nashville. I have seen him play full shows as well. I normally don't go to shows to watch people from the Songwriter sjowcases. Not only does John Major write good songs, but he is a consulate performer on stage. His audience interaction is 2nd to none. Well, except maybe myself. I keed, I keed... If you are looking to go see what Mis'sippi music is like, GO SEE JOHN MAJOR. If you are looking to book a pro, BOOK JOHN MAJOR.!

For most intimate venues up to around 300 people I bring a 1300 W amp that'll fill the room if we go bigger I'd need some sound reinforcement as for my lighting and staging they're flexible based on the vibe but not a dealbreaker just let me know you set up sounds
