JohnJGoddard.com is the digital home of me, John Goddard. I used the middle initial J in the domain name because a famous adventurer shares the rest of my name with me, and he built his website first, sometime in the 1970s.
This website features things we expect to see at websites, such as written items, photos, music, and perhaps the occasional audio short. I’d love to make short films and videos when the time, resources and team present themselves.
As for me, my first language is music, and I write and record my own. My primary instrument is my voice, but I play the rock and roll instruments and a few others.
I’ve played in a number of bands since the 1800s, including The Surrogates, Happy Mutants, Your Mother’s Lover, Smudge, Atmagita, The Non-Prophets and Cenozoic. I now independently record and produce as a solo artist, primarily under the name Cenozoic, but I could see slapping John Goddard on certain other solo efforts when it seems appropriate. Formal, onstage live appearances are pretty rare, but I sing in my daily life. I could be singing while you read this, wherever you are in the future.
I’m also an author of books, a freelance commercial writer, occasional artsy photographer, and all around content producer, and that should tell you where I get all of the original content you’ll see here.
