Support Your Fellow Songwriters (Repeat Chorus)

About Me

Hi ... I'm John Tolley and I'm a songwriter. I write mostly country and maybe something akin to southern rock. I love to write and I've been writing songs most of my life. After all these years, I finally realized that being a songwriter is what I am. The way in which I (currently) earn my living is simply what I do.

To play a song that I have written and witness another person respond to it emotionally is an amazing feeling. Beyond that, I've come to find that songwriters are some of the nicest and most fun people you can get to know! I hope you enjoy my songs.
