A fifth-generation Texan and one of the most respected storytellers in modern Texas songwriting, John Baumann stands in the lineage of Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Lyle Lovett, John Prine, and James McMurtry. His songs are rooted in observation rather than autobiography, allowing him to inhabit lives that aren’t his own and tell their stories with empathy, humor, and grit. For John Baumann, songwriting is about stepping into someone else’s boots for three and a half minutes and inviting the listener along for the ride. - Live at The Table at Madeley!
