It's Knapp Time, Kids

Ok, so this preview is going to be a little biased. Well, very biased actually. The performer I want you to check out this week happens to be a good friend of mine. (There's your disclaimer, right off the bat).
Siamsa Irish Pub's very own John Knapp will be playing an acoustic session on the second floor of the restaurant this Saturday night. John has spent many years reflecting on his sound and always remains in a state of experimentation. To sound utterly cliche for one second, if I had a penny for every kind of sound John experimented with, I'd be rich.
Also, John has also just recently purchased his very own synthesizer, which has been leading him in many different directions. I hope he brings it with him on Saturday. That could get interesting...
I'm glad John is finally getting the chance to spread his music around a little. He's got a lot of talent, but hasn't played many places yet. This is a chance for him to bust out!
On a side note, not only is John Knapp a talented musician, but he is also a very gifted writer. His poetry is a bit abstract, and makes you use your mind when you read it. Check it out here.
