John Roseboro is a Brooklyn singer-songwriter, bandleader, and guitarist known for a buttery baritone and fingerstyle playing. His path shaped the perspective in his songs: he lived alongside Amish communities and worked for years as a mortician before turning to music. Building on João Gilberto and Antônio Carlos Jobim, he developed the post-bossa style that runs through his catalog, writing about love, faith, mortality, and social justice with equal parts intimacy and wit. He released three albums on his own Public Confession Art House, most recently Johnny (2023) and Fools (2024), the latter arriving with a nationwide headlining tour and stops at SXSW and the Montreal Jazz Festival. He has drawn praise from Men I Trust, Frankie Cosmos, Field Medic, and Thee Sacred Souls, and comparisons to King Krule, Steve Lacy, Burt Bacharach, Elliott Smith, and Seu Jorge.
