"Johnny's music comes from the heart. I'm touched on a deep level by the lyrics and the life experience behind them. I also appreciate the diversity. It ranges from upbeat to serious to humorous to hauntingly beautiful. Thank you for being an inspiration and sharing your creativity." — Patricia Lynch, Fine Artist

​

"Soul-searing songs from the pen of Johnny Vanderlip. A major new talent." — Dan Fox (former editor-in-chief Warner Bros. Music and Carl Fischer LLC

For Johnny Vanderlip, music is a sacred calling, a devotion that cannot abide with crass commercialism or phoniness.  He maintains a strong commitment to the best he has to offer. His greatest gift is his innate lyricism; his best melodies and coupled lyrics rivaling any other songwriter anytime.

​

Johnny's music has the capacity ot reach into our hearts and bones and tap into what it means to be alive. His collaboration with Michael Hollingsworth won Love Song of the Year in the Dallas Songwriting competition.



He is a true original, unbound by the constraints which ensnare so many artists of the day.

 

"Johnny's music and lyrics teach us about real pain and adversity felt by many of us brought up with so called "traditional values" and most importantly, about the love it takes to move beyond that pain." — Tom Elgin
