You know about Dave
Here's some info on John Garcia

As a professional singer and guitarist for the last 30 years, there are few his equal. Instrumental virtuosity coupled with a unique vocal style are his trademarks. To name but a few of the huge list of players John has played and recorded with: John Lee Hooker, Albert King, Eddie Taylor, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, James Cotton, Hubert Sumlin, Sunnyland Slim, Big Mama Thorton, Skip Rose, John Mayall, Charlie Musselwhite, S.P. Leary, Luther Tucker, Lee Oskar, Bonnie Raitt, John Hammond, Bo Diddley, Mose Allision, Paul Simon, Huey Lewis and many, many more.

Bo Diddley once stated John was "one hell of an entertainer." John Lee Hooker stated, "He's one of the best I've heard in a long time."

John has been teaching in the California Bay Area for over 25 years. His credentials include both private instruction and group instruction for colleges, music conservatories, adult community schools and breakout sessions at Harmonica Masterclass Workshops and School of the Blues Workshops all around the world.

John can be heard on various recordings including lead guitarist and frontman on Blues singer John Lee Hooker's "The Cream" on Tomato Records. Recording sessions included working with Paul Simon for the movie sound track and album "One Trick Pony" in 1979.
John’s most recent albums are: Serious Fun with David Barrett, We Are The Blues, the School of the Blues All-Star Band Live and Cold As Ice with John Lee Hooker, Jr.
