"John Sebastian is one of the very select group of songwriters - including also John Lennon, Ray Davies, and Brian Wilson - for which the term 'genius' doesn't seem just a publicist's wild notion."

UPDATE - July 3, 2010

Hi, all-

Just got word that Billboard picked "Summer in the City" as the top summer song (according to really old guys!)

I know I can speak for all of us in saying that it's great to occasionally beat out Motown, the Beach Boys and, of course .. the lads!!

And just as a footnote, I hear it has become a jingle for Russian Pepsi-Cola.
Nasdrovya!

John

Hello, Team

Every now and then in the process of playing music, you get a show-off gig ... well here's mine for this year!

On May 13th, I've been invited by Sting and Trudie Styler to join them at Carnegie Hall for this years' Rainforest Benefit.

And how about this cast: Elton John, Lady Gaga, Sting, Shirley Bassey, Debbie Harry, me, and one of those bands you could only put together in New York, including Narada Michael Walden, Nile Rogers, Bones Malone, Jim Horne...

So I'm putting my acoustic on the wall while I learn "Paparazzi" and "Poker Face."

But don't worry...I'll be playing Laurel Maryland the next day, if I can get my head through the door. Then Boston, at the University of Massachusetts on June 6, and Anniston, Alabama on the 19th.

Then I'm hopin' the Dawg and I can resume our endless tour. I wonder if he wants to play"Paparazzi".......

All the Best! John Sebastian
