John Mann has been an engaging and positive force on Louisville music for the past four or five years, gracing the singer-songwriter scene with bulletproof songcraft, thoughtful lyrics and a voice as warm and inviting as anyone's. Mann and family recently relocated to Nashville, Tenn., where he'll continue writing, recording and touring. Mann has a strong new album, "Evening News," that retains its individuality while clearly revealing his core influences of The Band, Van Morrison and John Prine.--Jeffrey Lee Puckett, Louisville Courier JournalKY.
