John Roseboro
Brooklyn, New York, United States
About
Known for his buttery voice and distinct strumming, guitarist, singer-songwriter and bandleader John Roseboro has been making a name for himself in the Brooklyn indie scene, redefining and innovating the genre with Brazilian jazz and mysticism. Building off of the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:77ZUbcdoU5KCPHNUl8bgQy" data-name="João Gilberto">João Gilberto</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3pO5VjZ4wOHCMBXOvbMISG" data-name="Antônio Carlos Jobim">Antônio Carlos Jobim</a>, Roseboro's post-bossa style carries other similarities to the greats in that his music focuses on personal and social justice, undertaking major themes such as human rights, love, and religion, being described as "probably the music that will heal the world... impossible to be indifferent, in voice and soul." John cites his upbringing, particularly living with the Amish and years as a mortician, as informing his playing and perspective.
