John has been a performing musician in Kelowna since his youth. As a guitarist, singer and song writer - he is founder of the musical family group which traveled extensively throughout Western Canada as the popular entertainment and recording band known as Shamash.

John came back to Kelowna to settle down to family life, but kept his musical energy alive with such bands as Fancy That, High Henry, and Connection. Past and present, these involvements led to the formation of the popular Johnny Mac Trio and now Glory Days Duo.

"Hi Linda! I wanted to thank you so much for being part of the anniversary party. It couldn't have gone any better. I really appreciated how flexible you were (i.e. playing for the "walk down the isle," talking to the minister, playing during dinner, etc.!). I think you guys really gave the evening a great "mood" and it was easy to get up and dance. I think in the end, everyone had the urge, at least once, to get up and dance! I sincerely appreciate all your help throughout the process, especially with suggestions of where to get help for the party and your continuous updates up until the event! Thanks again Linda, you guys were amazing. My Aunty Terry even asked about having you to a party of theirs! Keep up the good work and great music!"
