"John is a spectacular guitarist and visionary writer. His music is deeply introspective and reflects the soul of a true artist." Peter Primamore Managing Partner http://www.organicmusiclibrary.com

"To me, the beauty of John Tinger's music lies in its visual depth, the wisdom of its texture. Each piece is a world in its own right, evoking wide open spaces, enchanted gardens, eternal waters, from which emerges the brilliant, urging voice of a seasoned storyteller. John has become an inspiration to my work as a filmmaker." bio: chris silber "Christoph Silber is a German-American screenwriter and filmmaker with more than 20 feature film and TV credits to his name, including multiple award-winning films such as 'Goodbye Lenin', 'North Face' and 'Arranged'. He divides his time between New York and the Tennessee Valley." Best Chris

“ "Finger-style guitarist who inspired John Tinger include Alex Degrassi and Michael Hedges, Will Ackerman, Francisco Tarrega and Ed Gerhard. The guitar music of John Tinger has quite a few similarities to these virtuoso acoustic guitarists, who had a major role in expanding and creating more experimental and soulful guitar music. The guitar music of John Tinger, comes straight from his heart, it seems like he is painting soundscapes on a musical painted canvas. The moods are as well soulful, intimate as touching ones inner force. John Tinger plays just as his great inspirers in altered tunings to have a wider palette of musical possibilities to create several different moods. You just can't pick out a song to discuss as it are all imaginary painted roads coming from his heart."
