John met Grayson Capps in the later part of 2000. They played a couple of shows together and regrouped in 2003 where John joined Grayson on some of his solo gigs in Fairhope Al. In October of 2003 John went into the studio to record 5 tracks on Graysons' album "If You Knew My Mind" and has been touring with The Stumpknockers ever since.
