John Jennings grew up as an "Army Brat". His father's career took John, his older brother and younger sister all over the globe.

They had homes in Georgia, Hawaii, Oklahoma and Germany to name a few. His original was Vashon Island Washington. This is where he first developed a taste for music. Being an army brat, John was introduced to all types of music and styles throughout the world. From his mother's familiar Elvis LP's, to the victorious chants, "Ali Lali" clap clap "Ali Lali" clap clap, sang by an Egyptian couple in Oklahoma after beating John and his little sister in a foosball game. Movies, sports, and music have always captivated John. From humming the Star Wars theme, National Football League anthem, or the popular hits on the radio,( Prince, George Michael, Guns-n-Roses, The Beatles, Van Halen, Duran Duran, Thomas Dolby or Pink Floyd),John absorbed melodies. Always whistling or humming something, or even making silly parodies. Singing in the shower and school choir, was no longer rewarding for John, so shortly after transferring to South Kitsap High School in Bremerton, WA, John approached a young drummer about a lead singer position available. Later that evening, the band Point Blank was born, as was John. After singing in a few different bands (mostly cover), John got his 1st guitar for $10.00 at the Goodwill. At the time he was really into progressive and art rock like Rush, Dreamtheater, Yes, Boston and Journey. Armed with a cheap guitar, a Ernie Ball lesson 1 guitar book and unemployment, a new door opened. From classic rock, to jazz, from fusion to heavy metal, from the cover band Point Blank, to the progressive rock band Trid, John evolved from army brat to music brat. Hooking up with Brian Douglas in the February of 2004 has set John's songwriting, mindset, and goals on a new journey. Eye's wide open........ no safety net........ all or not. I normally start a new a song Like a blind artist approaching a canvas. I have no idea where I’m at on the page, it just feels right. I hit a couple Chords, a strange bass line, or hum a melody. That was always the norm. Then comes Tom Brown and Brian Douglas. I had been playing alternative prog rock with Mike Sallee, and Robert Dickey for a couple of years. No matter how hard we tried, we could never Seem to get out of Mike’s garage. There always seemed to be some kind of Conflict within our personal lives that kept us from taking the next step. I mentioned to the guys Oct. of 2003 that if things didn’t change I would be looking for something different around the beginning of the year. In early Feb. of 2004 I received a call from Tom Brown. Tom was a seasoned engineer that had done some prior work for me. He had mentioned a possible christian project that he thought might interest me. I was interested, but a little skeptical for the fact that I was not a christian. Tom mentioned that Brian Douglas had a bunch of lyrics that he had written for just such a project. I thought about it. I had to step out of my box and write music and melody to someone else’s words. This would be a challenge. I had known Brian from his blistering leads, not his lyrics. Brian called me, and I said “let’s do it.” He gave me some lyrics, and I tried to get into his head. I needed to feel his emotion. What was he doing when he came up with these? What emotion was he feeling. What is the message. How do I convey a message that was conveyed to him. I not only have to research the lyrics, I need to research the bible. I am still not a christian, but I feel it is my duty to read the bible from time to time to better understand the joy I have received and learned from these to men that have shown me how to be a better man myself.
