John Westmoreland

John Westmoreland from North Carolina in the United States - John is an eclectic songwriter and musician who’s performed across the US, and internationally in Europe, South America, and West Africa. His guitar playing is masterful on both electric and acoustic guitar, and his voice is a deep baritone with shades of Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash, and Bob Dylan. With a repertoire that includes delta blues, folk, jazz, classic rock, Americana, R&B, world music, and Bach his diverse performances are sure to captivate audiences with virtuosic guitar solos, inventive live looping, and entrancing vocals.

John is now based in Helsinki, Finland where he made headlines in 2024 for his performance with Hollywood actor Jared Leto’s pop band 30 Seconds to Mars. He performs most regularly as a solo artist and his most recent original music project is to pay homage to the music and poetry of his Finnish-American ancestor Matti V. Huhta— who was better known as the mysterious hobo songwriter T-Bone Slim.

“This is a project of resurrection, and recovering lost wisdom. John’s melodic guitar playing and resonant voice create an evocative mood that channels T-Bone Slim’s words into the present with care and consideration.” - Billy Bragg
