He's been called the Human iPod because he puts out his 2 HUGE request books during the show and lets the audience decide which songs he plays. They pick their songs and write them on little post-it notes. During the show they stick their post-it notes all over the stage. In between each song John reads 3 or 4 post it notes to the audience and then based on audience response moves on to the next song.

He plays Original Music and Covers depending upon what the audience requests and can play more than 60 hours of music by memory!

Convocation is the bookend to commencement, or graduation. Convocation is a student’s official welcome to their academic career. At convocation we will aim to inspire new students, help them feel a connection to their new university family, and demonstrate ISU’s commitment to supporting students as they pursue their education.
