April, 2024 - BIG NEWS!! I have a new recording coming out in the next few months. It’s going to be called “Snow On The Wineglass”, and it’s a collection of mostly cowboy and western song written or cowritten by me. One song is written by Robin Williams. In all cases where the song is cowritten, my cowriter performs the song with me. Stay tuned to this website or Facebook!

September, 2023 - A song that I wrote with my buddy Joe Newberry won 2nd place in the International Western Music Association’s 2023 Songwriting Contest. It’s a song called Old Pard, and we’re thrilled that folks like it!


BIG NEWS!! I won the GRAND PRIZE in the 2021 Hazel Dickens Songwriting Contest, with my song entitled “Richmond”. The DC Bluegrass Union sponsors the contest. It’s quite the honor!

“When someone’s music is like an old friend and you’ve just met, that’s John Lowell’s gift,” said Bill Payne, legendary keyboardist and founder of Little Feat.

“John Lowell is a man at ease with himself. The musical terrain he occupies, whether his songs or others, is steeped in the tradition of storytelling. The combination of honesty and authenticity bolster the ease of the relationship between himself, his music, and his audience. John’s abilities as a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and human being are inseparable. If you ever have the chance to meet him in person you’ll find his handshake is heartfelt, his smile genuine, and his quiet demeanor humble. He has a knowledge and respect for music that is as serious as a Montana winter but delivered with the grace and confidence of someone who has led the life of sharing what he loves. I respect him and am honored to call him a friend.”
