John Featherstone
Joined April 2009
I'm a British singer-songwriter and composer, living in France for almost 20 years now. I moved to Paris from the Orléans area last autumn.
Musically I’m a mixture. I write a lot for vocal groups, but also perform solo, either accompanying myself on guitar, keyboards, and percussion, or doing a purely accoustic set on guitar and voice.
In 2006 Andy Manson built me a 7-string guitar. This was originally for a French show I wrote for the Sacred Art Festival at Orléans Cathedral, called PASSAGE, a musical dialogue between scepticism and faith, with a pianist and vocal quartet confronting me on voice and 7-string guitar.
The 7-string guitar has taken on a life far beyond this show. Until now words have been very important in my compositions. I continue to write lyrics, but alongside that I’m exploring how much you can say with a purely instrumental repertoire.
So on this page there's some 7-string instrumental work, solo concerts, and clips from choral performances of CREDO (English and French versions) and PASSAGE.
