About Me


John Barlow Jarvis's musical journey began in 1968 in Southern California at the age of 14, when, after winning numerous classical competition awards, he was signed as a staff songwriter and studio musician at Edwin H. Morris Music. By the age of 18 he was already playing piano on hits by such artists as Ringo Starr, Diana Ross, Leo Sayer, John Mellancamp, The Miracles, Art Garfunkel, Stephen Bishop (a fellow E.H. Morris writer) and many others. In 1974, at the age of 20, John joined the Rod Stewart Band, where his honky tonk licks can still be heard on such classics as Hot Legs, Tonight's the Night and You're in My Heart. Since relocating to Nashville, Tennessee in 1982, John has continued to work as a recording artist (profiled in TIME magazine), 2 time Grammy winning songwriter (for Country Songs of the Year "I Still Believe in You" and "Love Can Build a Bridge) and studio musician playing with almost all the artists who led the country music explosion of the late 1980s and early 1990s. His wide range of studio piano credits range from Vince Gill to Brooks and Dunn, from Faith Hill to Shania Twain, from George Strait to Reba MacEntire, even from Hank Jr. to Mary Chapin Carpenter. John''s new critically acclaimed CD, "View From a Southern Porch", features special guests Aubrey Haynie, Brian Sutton, Eddie Bayers, Mike Henderson, and David Hungate.
