Project By
Connected as John French (1041 friends)
John independently released his first solo full-length album in May of 2010 with extremely positive reception. Shortly thereafter John combined the musical talents of Josh DeRamus (drums), Kevin Justmann (bass), Wes Kent (electric guitar), and Rebecca Cash (backup vocals/banjo) to give the same power live that is present on the record. John French and the Bastilles were born. In a very short amount of time the band began to play all over the southeast, generating interest and excitement about their music wherever they went. John French and the Bastilles combine powerful acoustic sounds with raw and real energy to create a dynamic music experience. They combine old Folk sounds with modern arrangements that allow their music to be rich, real, and moving.
