Committed to his fans, John uses professional coaches and choreographer's to ensure his live show is top notch. "It is ALL about the people who come to see us play...nothing less than the best is what they deserve," says Wedergren. But then again...if you are used to living on the edge as John does, that may be just par for the course.
Rich from experiences in the U.S. Space program and deeply fascinated with mythology, John weaves themes about the human condition through his songs. Wedergren remarks: "I've always been an explorer...and, quite emotional. So, hopefully I combine those parts of me in a way to give my listener's something provacative...something they can benefit from."
"Breaking Free", Wedergren's first release is emblematic of his own stuggle to "go past" all the barriers - both self-imposed and real. John says: "It's always about learning to love yourself enough to see your dream through to its fruition. Breaking Free is a tribute to those who are on that path."
Influenced by rock guitarists Frank Marino, Robin Trower, and Eric Johnson and R&B greats such as James Brown, Albert Collins, and Anita Baker, John is committed to creating music with sophistication, stimulation, and soul. He says: "I'm interested in giving my audience something valuable to take home with them...to influence their lives in some significant way."
John Wedergren is pushing the edge of the musical envelope!!!
Nicknamed "Edge" by friends who marveled at his propensity for defining
new territory, John's blend of rock and soul is powerfully expanding modern
music's already rich tapestry.
