I’ve performed live as “Buffalo John”…

John Raymond Webster is my real name. I grew up in Southern Califonia. I had a passion for music and art and studied both in my youth ending up making a living as a graphic designer. I never stopped making music.

I learned drumming in elementary school, took some private piano lessons, and eventually discovered the guitar!

The Rogues, my first band in Junior High School, played surf and rock music at private parties, and at our Junior High School graduation dance. In high school I was in Yesco Train playing rock, blues, and originals at cool gigs in Hollywood, the Ballroom on Catalina Island, and our High School Graduation dance.

I traveled around with my acoustic guitar writing original songs for awhile and eventually started my graphic design business, Abacus Graphics. I had fun playing in the Smoking Wood Peckers band for 20 plus years.

I performed at the Crown Of The Continent Guitar Festival and around Flathead Valley, Montana in various band configurations. 

My latest creative musical endeavor has been building my home recording studio, The Blue Spoon. I continue working on new music creations and playing live music with friends and at parties.

Here’s a video snippet of me and my guitar buds at the Crown Guitar Workshop & Festival playing a cover of Jeff Beck’s Freeway Song.
