Vocalist/guitarist John P. Strohm has managed to do the seemingly impossible in the music
business. For the past several years, Strohm has balanced a career in entertainment law while continuing to actively record and perform. An Indiana native, Strohm first made his mark in Boston’s music scene as a member of The Lemonheads and Blake Babies. Eventually relocating to Birmingham, Strohm remained in the city after completing law school. Since then, he has become a fixture in the local music scene.
On Saturday, December 8, Strohm will perform at Bottletree Cafe with Nashville-based singer/songwriters Kyle Andrews and Brooke Waggoner opening the show. Earlier this year, Strohm released his latest effort, Everyday Life, on Superphonic Records. Backed by the rhythm section of Drew Glackin and Konrad Meissner from The Silos, Strohm recorded the album in Birmingham, Minneapolis, Minn. and Brooklyn, N.Y. In a review for Everyday Life, No Depression magazine noted that “Strohm’s writing is smart without being flashy for flash’s sake.” www.myspace.com/johnpstrohmmusic
