Life is complicated. It's easy to get so wrapped up in our daily problems that sometimes, it seems there's no escape. The antidote is to spend 39 minutes with John Tumminello.

John is the latest in the generation of New American storytellers. Embracing artists of the past and present, he joins the ranks of John Mellencamp, Tom Petty and John Mayer with his own powerful and emotionally dynamic American Heartland music - music which serves as both a mirror on our lives and a door to escape through.

From intimate ballads to memorable pop rock songs, John's range of musical stories takes us on a journey through the ups and downs in life and those sometimes-forgotten moments in between.

In his debut album, Eventually, John covers the gamut, from everything good in our lives to the problems we create for ourselves. In his own words, John explores the aspects of life we all can relate to: lifelong friendships, unrequited love, self-doubt, and the joy that music brings to our lives. In the song Here I Am, he introduces his personal views of love. John believes that people come and go in our lives, and sometimes we just can't help who we fall in love with - or out of love with. Love is a mystery. We can destroy it with  words, or with actions. And sometimes we destroy it without ever knowing how or why.

John's philosophy carries over to the moving ballad, Still Crazy (In Love With You). Using Elvis Presley as a backdrop, the piece is a haunting look back at the time we spend torturing ourselves about the path we have chosen in life. those paralyzing moments of self-doubt that prevent us from doing what we want, or need, to do.

Which leads us to Eventually - a quest for that moment in life when we finally decide to believe in ourselves and pursue our personal calling. That moment of exhilaration, of challenge, when we are ready to move past fear and start living life for ourselves. John has taken this leap of faith
personally, and he invites all of us to do the same.

John Tumminello is a rare artist because his vision of life and what is important in it is not restricted to music. Whether we're sitting alone at home or driving down the highway with the top rolled down, John's moving words and irresistible melodies remind us that we are in control of life's challenges. We are the ones who decide where we will Eventually end up.
