January’s Creative Sunday Featured Artist is Berkeley-based guitarist, songwriter and producer, John Givens, playing live music for the event. 

“I live for those moments when you feel the room shift, it gets a little quiet and you feel the audience connect with music. Helping people to feel deeper is what it's all about for me,” John says. 

John's solo music blends genres, incorporating elements of blues, soul, jazz, and ambient music to create what feels like a lush and gently funky cinematic score. 

John has produced, been the band leader, and primary song writer on eight albums ranging from an eight-piece soul band (No Lovely Thing), to an experimental post rock group (Lay / Lie), to his own solo guitar records (Music for Road Trips). He currently performs withLay / Lie,The Jake Sampson Blues Group, Americana singer/songwriter, Joe Brennan, and as a solo electronic guitarist.
