REWRITTEN ARTIST BIO
John Hoover is an inspirational songwriter and musician whose music lives at the crossroads of classic folk, Americana, and the timeless spirit of John Denver. With a warm voice, inviting presence, and an easy sincerity, John weaves songs and stories that lift the spirit, spark connection, and remind listeners of what matters most.
Drawing from the well of 60s–70s folk and rock, John Denver–inspired storytelling, and his own heartfelt originals, Hoover creates performances that feel both familiar and deeply personal. His songs reflect themes of peace, belonging, love, and reverence for the natural world—music meant not just to be heard, but felt.
John Hoover and the Mighty Quinns bring that spirit to life on stage with joyful energy and rich harmonies. Whether performing original songs, classic folk and Americana, or beloved standards, the band delivers an engaging, foot-tapping experience rooted in feel-good vibes and meaningful lyrics. Instruments include guitars, mandolin, percussion, and bass, with all band members contributing vocals for a full, organic sound.
The kindred musical influences of the band—ranging from John Denver and Bob Dylan to The Beatles and beyond—create a shared musical language grounded in strong songwriting and emotional honesty. Together, they present performances that celebrate friendship, community, and the enduring power of a good song.
The Mighty Quinns are John Hoover, Bruce Webb, and James Maltos—friends brought together by a love of music that speaks for the earth, the human spirit, and the spaces where those meet. Their concerts invite audiences to sing along, lean in, and leave a little lighter than they arrived.
Recent appearances include the Sequim Summer Concert Series (WA), Faith, Hope & Charity Vineyards (Bend, OR), Chico Sidewalk Market Nights (CA), Cozine Creek Concert Series, Kitsap Unity Church, and numerous house concerts and listening rooms throughout the Pacific Northwest.
“John Hoover and The Mighty Quinns’ appearance at the Coyle Community Center was a pleasure indeed… Hoover’s smooth and powerful voice is a perfect fit for his wealth of songs—a special experience for everyone in the hall.”
— Norm Johnson, Concerts in the Woods, Coyle, WA
“Both shows offered a laid-back atmosphere, with the band encouraging attendees to sing along to many popular hits and lesser-known songs…”
