More on John Cologon: an artist whose life appears to be longing being shared. John found his love for music at school, and his picture of a boy with academic and musical ambitions is vivid. Imagine this: A student holding a mathematics textbook along with a guitar pick in one hand had notebooks stuffed with mathematical formulas and jammed with his vociferous scribbles of lyrics and song notes in the margins. This particular early intrigue developed into groups of bandmates with distinct names such as for instance “Dark Alley” or “Arnold Ziffle’s Zany Twinkle Toe Sandshoe band” John was not singing music; he was really working. He was a chameleon in music, from lead guitar to drums. Although the spotlight moved to family life afterward, John never stopped creating. His personal experiences integrate into his songs, urging you to accompany him on his journey with the beats and lyrics.
The Journey Through Bands
For John, joining various bands was like stepping stones to various musical outlooks. In the band Midnight Rainbow he played on a dual neck guitar and alternated between lead and bass. It was, interestingly, recording music which turned into his lifelong passion. John began keeping parts of his musical journey safe with a 4-track Teac reel-to-reel tape recorder. Life brought new commitments including marriage and kids but his rhythm stayed intact. Playing gigs together with his children was a phase when music became a family affair. A brand new concept was born when he saw his former bandmate from “Midnight Rainbow” Why not create an album of songs he is treasured for years? This conversation resulted in the concept album 2019 (Reality?), which is both nostalgia and newness. These are moments that demonstrate just how John holds onto his musical roots while evolving with time.
The Musical Influence
