Histori

One of the bands he played, Sounds Like Life, included fellow Bay Area artist Ronnie Day. After years of playing bass, he chose an acoustic guitar. Vesely follows the tradition of John Ondrasik's Five for Fighting. Vesely is also the son of a Czech immigrant.

While some artists may be afraid of roughly playing only with acoustic guitar, John welcomes the honesty that comes up. He claims "in some ways a band is stronger, but in other ways there are things you can do with one voice and one acoustic guitar that you can not do with the musicians behind your troop."
