John Baumann has established himself as equal parts brilliant songwriter and captivating entertainer. He’s released several solo releases, while honing his songwriting skills and landing cuts with other artists - from Kenny Chesney to the Randy Rogers Band he is not short on innate talent and storytelling. He is also a member of the acclaimed group, The Pandhandlers, along with Josh Abbott, William Clark Green and Cleto Cordero( of Flatland Cavalry). He is currently working on a new solo project, as well as a new Pandhandlers album, both available in the near future.
From the Panhandle of West Texas, the Panhandlers are a collective of four singer-songwriters who have banded together for a self-titled — not to mention self-aware — project. Recorded with producer Bruce Robison, the band captures the wide open spaces and the occasional melancholy of their home turf, but not without some sly humor mixed in. Take a look at their music video for “No Handle,” then find out more about their hopes for the album from each of the artists — Josh Abbott, John Baumann, Cleto Cordero, and William Clark Green.
