John Pinetree is a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter with deep roots in all things Americana, using his bass-baritone voice, guitar grooves, and searing harmonica to tell stories of the human diaspora. He and his band, The Yellin’ Degenerates, often shape-shift from genre to genre—old-school blues and jazz into modern neo-soul and funk—holding sacred the power of improvisation and celebrating the schtick that resides within each individual performer and, at times, the voices of the audience.

Original and curated songs of hope, love, the joy of movement, compassion, inclusivity, loss, uncertainty, and our largest challenges as humanity. The music lends direction through myriad emotions, from joy to cathartic release, landing in a place of gratitude, which is the birthplace of altruism.

For this, The Pinetree Music Collective has a giving legacy from each performance and from all merch sales.

“Music is Love, My love is Music in perfect harmony.”
