John Hickman has been composing and performing alternative rock music since 2008 mostly as a solo artist (but with the help of many fine musicians). He has written a diverse portfolio of songs, some relying more on keyboards, others making more use of guitars, and some more mellow and acoustic. There is some variety in his music, but it all still falls pretty much under the classic and alternative rock category with a retro flair. Full of musical contrasts and dynamics, thought-provoking, emotional, and with meaning, it provides something interesting for most everyone. "Remnants is a unique indie album with catchy tunes, a great mix of styles, insightful lyrics, and a retro sound that truly takes you out of this world." - recent review, Sabrina Pena Young "While Everyone Was Sleeping" (one of the songs on the album) - received 2011 Song of the Year semi-finalist award These songs were written over a period of several years but with the day-to-day demands of a day job and real life, it wasn't until about a year ago that a concerted effort was made to take the songs into London Bridge Studios, Seattle, WA (Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, and Macklemore/Ryan Lewis among their notable clients) and produce quality recordings of them. Thanks for stopping by and hope you decide to give the songs a try!
