John Carpino was born and raised in Western Montana.  He then moved to Colorado at  the age of 18 where he began performing live in clubs and coffee houses as a solo acoustic act. He studied music at Fort Lewis College in Durango, earning a BA degree in music education.  Though his talents are varied, John's first love is the art of songwriting. 

John's performances are always well received and he is the most in-demand performer in his area, being voted "Best Entertainer" by the locals for 12 consecutive years!  John has that special ability of creating and maintaining a mutual sense of enjoyment between audience and performer.
