WHO HIT JOHN
Who Hit John? have been performing, jamming and busking around southwest Michigan since 2006. They've brought their energetic and original old time sound to bars, basements, street corners, barns, concert halls - Anywhere they can get folks stompin', singin' and clappin'.  Whether kicking out rawkus, old time fiddle tunes, dirty, greasy southern blues, or high, lonesome bluegrass serenades, Who Hit John? keep the home fires burning, carrying on the tradition of American roots music. All five members write and sing, providing a wealth of material and influences. Who Hit John? always bring audiences something exciting and new.

The band was formed by Nick "Hamdog" VanderVleit on mandolin, Kris "Will DoLittle" Kehn on guitar, and Dan "Catfish" McCartney on banjo and slide guitar. Shortly thereafter, Nathan "Django Watley" Dannison joined on fiddle, harmonica and jaw harp. The fresh-faced foursome went though a slew of bass players before meeting recording engineer Ian "Dr. Hoot" Gorman while mixing their debut CD, "Old Gray Road."

In December of 2007, Who Hit John? headed up to Heart Center Studios in Big Rapids, MI, to record their first full-length CD. With Leslie Ziegler of The Mossy Mountain Band filling in on bass, they threw down 14 tracks in 14 hours, polished off a handlebar of Knob Creek, and sang their hearts out in a library containing the largest collection of astrology books in North America. It was a magical weekend, and it shows through every note. Recorded by Drew Behringer and mixed/mastered by current-bassist Ian Gorman, "Old Gray Road" showcases the band's timeless original songs and high-energy performance.
