JOHN GARNER has only existed as a trio since September 2016. Previously, front man Stefan Krause had been touring solo through Germany under the name. In 2009, he was even voted “Germany’s best rock singer” by the German Rock & Pop Association. Shortly after that he ran into Chris Sauer. With an equally extraordinary voice and playing rhythm guitar and mandolin, the two found their own unique sound and started touring together. Adding a feminine touch, Lisa Seifert became a member of this irresistible ensemble in 2016. In addition to raising the band’s female quota, she is also the key to the Garners’ magical three-part harmonies.

Since then, the story of JOHN GARNER’s success has only picked up steam and they’ve been performing on European stages as a five-piece band since 2018. The group is now complete with a stand-up bass, piano and drums and they’re making floors shake like never before!

Two full-length recordings also attest to the trio’s creative chemistry. They’ve already shared the stage with Greg Holden, Ryan Sheridan, Impala Ray, Mainfelt, and The O’Reillys and the Paddyhats and a definite highlight was when they won the Pro7 show “My Hit. Your Song,” taking home the top prize of 25.000€.

Recently, the band has also gained additional support from ByOn, the Association for Pop Culture in Bavaria’s top sponsorship project. So far, JOHN GARNER has toured in scores of cities, performing dozens of concerts and festivals in Germany, Austria, Italy and France – including more than 100 shows in 2018 alone… but the journey is only just beginning.
