about

With little more than an alternate-tuned acoustic guitar and a dog-eared copy of The Hobbit, Sci-Fi Songwriter John Anealio composes and performs geeky anthems for writers, librarians, lovers of Science Fiction, Best Buy customers, and robots. His music sounds like John Mayer, Weezer, and James Taylor playing Dungeons and Dragons together on their iPhones.

John is Wired Magazine’s GeekDad Guitar Teacher and the co-host of both The Functional Nerds and SFSignal Podcasts, where he interviews lots of cool Science Fiction and Fantasy authors every week.

John’s songs have been published in releases by Pyr/Prometheus Books and Subterranean Press and have been played on a number of shows including Wired Magazine’s Geek Dad Podcast, Tech News Today, Seattle Geekly, The Sword & Laser, The Force-Cast, I Should Be Writing, & Adventures in Sci-Fi Publishing.

"This is an artist to keep an eye on." -Brandon Sanderson, author of The Gathering Storm, Elantris, & The Mistborn Trilogy

"A work of Coulton-ic genius. A thing of beauty." -Ken Denmead, author of GeekDad

"I am blown away." -Gregory Frost, author of Shadowbridge and Lord Tophet

"A nuanced and beautiful piece of music." -Kay Kenyon, author of Bright of the Sky
