About the event
Ivas John Band
Ivas John is a rare blend of tradition and innovation—a roots musician whose effortless authenticity bridges blues, folk, country, and Americana. Born in Chicago to Lithuanian immigrant parents, his earliest musical influences ranged from European folk dancing to the Chicago blues scene. After honing his craft on electric blues guitar and earning his stripes backing veteran bluesmen, Ivas evolved into a versatile singer-songwriter known for his warm, baritone vocals, masterful guitar playing, and engaging stage presence.
Formed in the early 2000s, the Ivas John Band has played thousands upon thousands of shows across the midwest and beyond. Known for a repertoire that blends electric blues with early jazz, swing, country blues, and slide guitar influences, the band has become a consistent presence in regional clubs, festivals, and music circuits across the region with their ever popular standing gigs. With a handpicked band of some of St. Louis’ finest, his shows crackle with energy, precision, thoughtful arrangements, originality, and pure musical joy.
