John Southworth is an English-Canadian singer-songwriter. He performs a diverse range of popular song genres, from AM oldies-radio to traditional folk balladry, 80’s pop to art song and cabaret. One of Canada’s music iconoclasts, Southworth has always followed his own highly singular vision, often shaped by generally unheralded and peculiar pop and folk influences.

His songs have been covered by, or written for, such Canadian artists as Sarah Slean, Buck 65, Hawksley Workman, Jully Black, Martin Tielli and Veda Hille. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
