John Denner was virtually unseen and unheard until his stunning performance on the Howard Stern Show in April of 2007. Now, John is recognized internationally as the unconventional guitarist whose Eddie Van Halen-style playing is both “amazing” and “inspiring.”
Born without his right hand, John always had a fascination with guitars and a love of music. In his early 20s, he turned his dream of playing into a reality in the privacy of his home, where he taught himself to play electric guitar using a make-shift picking device. After abandoning his passion for nearly a decade, John began to play again. In less than three years of dedicated practice, he honed his natural talent to a new level, surprising himself with his own proficiency.
John’s first exposure as a musician came in the form of an audio clip he shared with a few fellow music lovers. Encouraged by the praise his playing received, John revealed his disability to his small audience of listeners. Interest grew, as his story developed into an inspiring tale of overcoming adversity in pursuit of one’s passion.
