John McVey is a veteran of Texas Blues, who created his signature tone and earned his aggressive guitar chops as a member of touring bands on the Chitlin’ Circuit. He was mentored by Blues legends Larry Davis and Albert King. With no effects pedals, his 'singing guitar' emotes heart-rending bends and smooth runs as well as bold chording that has led many, including the legendary 'Uncle' John Turner, to call McVey 'the best rhythm guitar player around.'

His musical resume includes world-wide performances with Hook Herrera & the Hitchhikers and Paul Orta & the Kingpins. After a very profitable Miller Genuine Draft Light television spot, John joined the Lavelle White Band in ATX as guitarist and band leader. With Lavelle, he played the major festival circuit for several years on shows with Luther Allison, John Lee Hooker and more.

John's first solo CD, "Gone to Texas," was released in March of 2002. The album was produced by Derek O'Brien and engineered by Stuart Sullivan. It features John on guitar and vocals, Joel Guzman on button accordion, Kim Wilson on harmonica, Larry Fulcher on bass, Barry "Frosty" Smith on drums and percussion, Mike Buck on drums, Derek O'Brien on rhythm guitar where noted, Riley Osbourn on keys and Erin James and Eve Monsees on harmony vocals. 9 of the 12 songs on the album are John's originals.
