About About John Eic Booth
He yields the energy of a rock concert, and the presence and charm of an old-school tv personality... while embracing the charisma, swagger and precision of a passionate singer of the great standards, all at the same time. On all levels... it comes straight from the heart.
Meet John Eric Booth. Singer, entertainer, radio personality, producer, writer, dad and lover of life.
With a recent acclaimed headlining performance in New York City, including a surprise performance for a standing room only crowd at the legendary New York Friars' Club which drew anxious listeners in from neighboring rooms... it is CLEAR that John Eric Booth is reaching the world with a vibe of pure joy for the Great American Songbook.
"I want to bring the party back to the genre. If there is ever a time to inject a lighthearted vibe into life and society... that time is now. We take ourselves much too seriously. Let's face it... this music is TOTAL COOL. It puts a smile on your face and warms your soul, and I am glad to be of service (grinning). THIS is what I do. This infectious swinging sound is with me all day long. It’s not just what I do onstage… it’s a LIFESTYLE. I live it, breathe it, love it."
J-E-B notes Dean Martin as a major influence. “I am without a doubt influenced by Sinatra from a precision aspect. I constantly aspire to reach that level of precision as a singer, but Dean Martin influences me as a ‘personality’ and entertainer. I love the “fun” that he brought to the venue. He was interested IN his audience… he wasn’t wrapped up in BEING interesting. Know what I mean? I find that very appealing, and that best suits ME as a person… my fans seem to like that too!”
While a devoted study of the Great American Songbook, the influence of music from the 60s, 70s and 80s is always with him as well. "Without a doubt, my history in pop music has indeed played a positive role in crafting my standards voice into what it is today. I think it's helpful to have some exposure to variously music styles. There are many that deserve appreciation on various levels."
The marvels of the internet have definitely made this big world much smaller. "I love receiving messages from new fans from far away places like Hungary, Germany, Ireland and England for example. Knowing I am touching people's lives and entertaining them is so gratifying. What a way to break down the language barrier! The people reaching out to me is what keeps a spring in my musical step."
