John Kirby is a singer/songwriter from Hamilton USA. I'm not sure which Hamilton as at least 26 of the 52 states have a Hamilton but I'll take a punt at New York State seeing as he seems to tour a lot around there. He's just released his EP free on Bandcamp as a stream and download. I like his sound. He has an early to mid-90s feel to it but what sets him apart is some truly epic guitar chords at times (think U2's Joshua Tree-type of guitar playing.)
He's described as folk-pop but to be honest I don't hear much folk or Americana, this is straightforward guitar based pop rock. It's never going to set the world alight but his music does have a freshness and honesty that, as long as you don't take it too seriously, will wash pleasantly over you.
