John Doe’s new solo release, Keeper, is already getting good reviews from NPR to the L.A. Times, and TVD is giving away a copy on vinyl.
Doe has an extensive and eclectic background, ranging in acting to music. He’s worked with the likes of The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, and the movie about his early career, The Unheard Music, was included in the Sundance UCLA Archive of greatest films of all time.
In the L.A. times album review, John was quoted as saying, “As you grow up, you realize that a certain amount of satisfaction and happiness is a very good thing. Pieces of sadness exist in everything, but it doesn’t have to be the only thing,” and I think this attitude is evident in his latest work.
This weekend, you can see John tonight at Jammin’ Java in Vienna, VA, and tomorrow night at Nightcat in Easton, MD.
Fun fact: John Doe was in the movie Road House. For a chance to win this album, leave a comment telling us your favorite Road House quote. The winner will be chosen next Friday, December 9th, and must have a mailing address in North America.
