» John Snell the Tenth
Image: johnacoustic.jpg Minnesota native John Snell (the Tenth) started writing music when he was just fifteen, but his musical admiration was apparent at an even earlier age. Johns mother can attest to him dancing to the hum of the vacuum cleaner while he was still in cloth diapers. Since these early days, JS10 has written over 200 songs, grown out of diapers, and released 5 full-length albums (Including In The Key Of Vacuum, The Alien Highway, Audibly Oriented, and recently The Clock Stops Here). Vocal training was started on John in his third grade of school; his writing wavering melodic harmonies is a result of singing nine years with organized choirs. And yes, he is actually John Snell the Tenth...his fathers John Snell the Ninth and everything.

Currently John is working on promoting his latest studio album The Clock Stops Here. He also recently finished a double album titled "Peculiar Songs for a Particular Audience--The complete home recordings of John Snell the Tenth". Both of these albums (and others) are available at http://www.JohnSnellX.com. Also, a new studio album was started this summer at 3rd Ear Recording Studio, and the 6 new songs are arguably the best thing written to date! To read quotes from John Snells Journals, to read song lyrics and philosophical writings, or to download MP3s, visit JohnSnellX.com. John's goal for the future is to release albums fast enough to keep up with his song writing and artwork compositions.
