John Mettam
A versatile and energetic musician, John has toured extensively in the US, Canada, Europe, and Japan, and appears on over 30 recordings. He has worked with jazz greats Ran Blake and Herb Robertson, legendary New Music mavericks Bobby Previte, Mark Feldman, David Tronzo, Matt Darriau & Paradox Trio. In Boston, he founded the third stream improv group Third Ear, and upon moving to New York he was quickly snatched up by downtown legends EZ Pour Spout and Goats in Trees. His deep understanding of song structure, broad dynamic range and musicality have made John a natural choice for the many singer/songwriters he has worked with, including Dee Carstenson, Vicki Genfan, Melissa Sheehan, Cynthia Hopkins, and Broadway Diva Melissa Errico.
John has produced jingles for the Nickelodeon network, Saturday Night Live, and he has been a longtime collaborator of film composer John Davis, recording music for Miramax Films, HBO, and Lifetime Network as well as a host of indie films. He has recorded and produced albums by Melissa Sheehan, Alice Bierhorst, and Rockdove, among others, at his own Running Girl Studio in Brooklyn.
