Brief Bio

John William Carlson is an award-winning singer/songwriter from Holly Springs, North Carolina. He recently finished a week long writing session with 4 time Grammy Nominee, Darrell Scott at his ‘SongFood’ writer’s retreat in Nashville. Upon returning home, Carlson said, “I’ve written songs the better part of my life, but Darrell caused me see and hear things in my art and craft in a completely different light and context. I feel super-charged to write without limits.”
