Known for his buttery voice and distinct strumming, singer-songwriter and visual artist John Roseboro has been making a name for himself in the indie scene, redefining and innovating the genre from Brooklyn, NY. Building off of the likes of João Gilberto and Antônio Carlos Jobim, Roseboro’s post-bossa style carries other similarities to the greats in that his music focuses on personal and social justice, undertaking major concepts such as human rights, love, and religion, being described as "probably the music that will heal the world... impossible to be indifferent, in voice and soul.” John cites his upbringing, particularly living with the Amish and years as a mortician, as informing his playing and perspective. The new artist has received praise from indie giants Field Medic, Thee Sacred Souls, Men I Trust, and Frankie Cosmos drawing comparisons to King Krule, Steve Lacy, Elliott Smith and Seu Jorge. After independently garnering a loyal online and live show audience and self-releasing the culturally acclaimed ‘Johnny’, Roseboro has returned with "Four Cantos", moving forward with no end in sight.
