Artist History Born and raised on the rural plains of Western Tennessee; John Orr Franklin began playing the guitar and writing songs at the age of 15. His musical career has taken him from Beale Street in Memphis where he played in an all blues house band; to various Rock & Roll stages where he performed with an original Modern Rock act called Martyrs Park. From Memphis John traveled to Nashville where he resided for about 3 years. "Nashville was a great experience in that you are able to meet all types people at all levels of the music industry, typically in some very interesting, and quaint, southern settings." John is currently residing in Austin Texas where he is currently performing various solo gigs while putting together an original band to play the Live Music Capital of the worlds' scene. He is also spending time setting up a recording studio in Austin to begin recording and producing other local artists. John's musical style varies due to an imensely diverse set of musical influences. Straying from Texas Rock & Roll to straight ahead guitar instrumentals, John integrates a wide flavor of musical tones and styles to make for an interesting listening experience. John's first CD entitled "Flow To Infinity" captures 12 original compositions that show the true diversity of the artist. A second CD entitled "Destinations" is soon to be released and will be available for online purchase soon.
