about

This is a previously released album . . . from the liner notes :
"demologue : most all of these songs are one takes and we tried hard not to correct any of the mistakes (for better or for worse) with the exception of tracks 10 - 13. i make these songs public by demand from friends and also because i feel some responsibility to do so. if you needed them to be perfect, i apologize, maybe next time; for now it'll have to be a collection of demos capturing where i was at on the day of recording.

i have been writing (mainly in my closet) since i was 21, with a few sporadic public appearances and i generally write about the same ol' thing that haunts us all: community, the lack thereof, long for reconciliation, and love.

as i write this, i feel my "time has not yet come," and my responsibility, for now, is just to keep writing and creating; learning every so often how to get better. singing and writing by all means, has been a struggle and a process that has slowly taken me over in time. i always wish i were better.

well, if you are reading this, ill leave you with one encouragement for now: that is, if you fall down, get back up. please. for all of us. we're all going to fall. it's the getting up and moving forward that we take note of."

about

John Louviere Salt Lake City, Utah

I am a songwriter who has been recording on tapes and old eMacs for going on thirty years. A couple years ago I got the privilege of going into a studio and recording a couple fine sounding albums. The rest are just amateur demos of what I wrote that year. ... more
