After recording 3 ep´s and 3 albums with his Band Baroness John joined the Songs of Townes Van Zandt club and recorder 3 songs for the Songs of Townes Van Zandt.

“Earlier this year, My Proud Mountain label approached me about contributing some tracks to the second “Songs of Townes Van Zandt” covers collection. While Baroness is preparing to resume touring, I am excited to come to Berlin and play music that our audience may be unfamiliar with me performing. I have always been an admirer and devotee of Townes, and I hope I can come and do some of his songs justice. This will be a unique opportunity for me.”
