John Flynn Holiday Show
at World Cafe Live

John Flynn joins us today for a special holiday show at World Cafe Live. A co-production of WXPN and NPR Music.
Listen

This Temple University graduate in Political Science intended to become a lawyer, but after finding success writing country music in Nashville, Tennessee for major recording artists, his life took a turn. Luckily, in the early 90s John Flynn decided to step away from the country music scene and come back to Philadelphia where he eagerly began a career in Folk/Americana music. He is a social activist who recently joined Arlo Guthrie and Willie Nelson on tour to benefit victims of Katrina. He is also an award-winning children's recording artist and heard frequently on WXPN's Kids Corner. John has made several performances at the XPoNential Music Festival, and other festivals and venues across the country. You may have heard him sing as a special guest at the Phillies games too!!
