John Hewitt is a singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and filmmaker based out of Edmonton Alberta. In March of 2020 John’s Alberta debut was set to be released but the pandemic brought all motion to a halt. Focussing on the studio and songwriting, he continued to produce, write and record throughout 2021, coming up with material for 2021’s Dead Lovers and Hollywood Reality and 2022’s Life Blood & Tears. In that time he produced several local Edmonton acts including Will Ryan’s Way on Down the Mountainside and Angie Klein’s Made in Alberta.
2022 saw the return to the road where John performed across Canada, Montana, Utah and Colorado at the Canmore Folk Festival, Wild Oats & Notes, Waynestock, the Whitefish Songwriter Festival, Millwoods Canada Day Celebrations, Waterton Opera House, Gallery House Concerts, the New Moon Folk Club, Northern Lights Folk Club, Lethbridge Folk Club, Nickelodeon Folk Club, and our very own Black Rose Acoustic Society.
John continues to tour, and between tours he continues to produce local Edmonton acts including his own works Life Blood & Tears: Vol. II and Broken Rebels, released in May 2023.
