About Me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who am I? Well, as I am fond of saying: "It's Not About Me". What it's about is the artist and the music. I have an ear for what I call "the best of the best" of the genre (i.e. acoustic folk rock) and I like to hear flexible, strong, unwavering, and convincing vocals that reach a variety of ranges with spot-on harmonies. I very much like seeing/hearing that the guitar is as much as part of the act as the singer/songwriter. The lyrics have to make a difference to my life and the end product has to ring in my head for days.
John Batdorf is such an artist and over the course of the last few years, my role in working toward getting him recognized has changed.

It started with compiling mailing lists and a YahooGroup to gather the fans from before together with the new fans. Then my Los Angeles-based concert series was born: Meet Me In the Music Presents, intended to cross-promote audiences of like musicians with Johns' to ultimately grow his audience and fan-base as well as the artist with whom he would share an evening. Recently, Mother Hen Promotions was created. Mother Hen Promotions (or "Mom Hen" as we call her for short) encompasses anything to do with online publicity, research and promotion for anything related to John Batdorf . Plus, any musician or project with whom John works gets equal time. In addition, Mother Hen Promotions is also now doing on-line promotion for The Buccaneers . And so it continues to grow.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With truly meaningful lyrics, a sincere voice with an amazing range that reaches deep inside you, harmonies that coil themselves around your soul, awesomely intricate acoustic melodies, and guitar playing that leaves other guitarists in the dust ... no one transcends the talent of
John Batdorf
