John Duttera has run sound at the Appalachian Fair for more than 45 years.

He has a new album coming out, his first attempt at solo recording, and it's definitely worth checking out - there are two songs on his Spotify page that give you a great idea what it has to offer. If you're used to seeing him play country classics, though, you may be in for a surprise.

A singer-songwriter with a loyal following, his songs tend to defy categorization, hopping from sad, angst-filled tearjerkers to funny, pun-filled knee-slappers with ease. He's got a good sense of melody and great sense of humor and he doesn't mind mixing his country with his soul. If you get a chance to see him, you should take it.
