John Dartnell

John Dartnell delivers up and embraces a surprising number of musical styles, ranging from country, rock, folk, and yes, even Americana, not to mention plenty of 'oooh la la' to burn in some very romantic love ballads. (Pretty intriguing stuff for us women folk, considering the deeply romantic songwriting finesse coming from a muscle bound, tattooed, bearded Brit.)

The songwriting put forth and exhibited by John Dartnell are unmistakably and unforgettably 'classic' of his very distinct trademark style; and no doubt, longtime fans of John Dartnell, ("The Beard", as he is affectionately known by his fans), will agree. To quote just a few of the rave reviews given by radio personalities and personnel around the globe...

One radio station said about the song "Nothing Changes" from John Dartnell's album "Dreams And Schemes". "Nothing Changes" is nothing short of musical beauty. John seems to have the perfect balance of heart felt lyrics matched with acoustic accompaniment makes this single a delight to the ears." (Review by Vanessa Chaplin). Another radio station review raves: "Man I love this guy; what a sound! I'll be playing him for sure." (Review by Andy of www.airradio.net ). "Logic, Grape Juice, And A Beard' is the best album I have heard this year".

'Logic, Grape Juice And A Beard' is John's 9th album release and I have inside information he is already working on number 10.

John Dartnell is not a newcomer to the music industry. John earned a Top 10 hit position on the New Music Weekly Indie Charts in America for fifteen weeks with his song 'If It Ain't Country' off of his "Miles From Anywhere" album which peaked at the #9 position.

For an independent artist not signed to a major record label, (yet that is), gaining significant airplay and rotation in countries and regions ranging as far and wide as from all across the UK, the United States, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Sweden, The Netherlands, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, and beyond, (just to name a few), is indeed impressive.

As easily heard from the quality of his songwriting, music is a major passion for John Dartnell, but music is certainly not John's ONLY talent. John has also enjoyed a rather long and successful career as an actor for a number of years; having performed in countless TV shows in the UK, as well as commercials. John performed in a video for the band 'Busted' with a song called, "Year 3,000", which reached to number one in the charts in the UK. Many recognize John Dartnell from his performance as a wizard in the second Harry Potter movie, ("Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"), as well.

And it may be a bit hard to imagine after listening to the 'depth' of John's lyrical content but I can personally attest to the fact that John Dartnell is an amazingly, brilliantly and hysterically funny individual; (And it's safe to say he is a pretty smart bet for anyone that chooses to back him as well.)

John is currently unsigned to any label but is open to offers, publishing for his songs is also available.
