Singer-songwriter-guitarist John Enghauser returns to San Fran for a special show at the popular Vin Club,

"Skillful artist whose amiable, laid-back recordings demonstrate exceptional attention to detail, especially in his acoustic guitar and the way instruments are placed in the mix...what's distinctive about his brand of pop-rock is its decided smooth-jazz influence in some of the guitar interludes ("Blame") and in his use of the Rhodes keys." MUSIC CONNECTION

Watch a live performance by John Engahuser of the title track from "Lost In The Pages" at the Whiskey A Go-Go in Hollywood here:

"There's something cool happening in the local singer/songwriter scene. Catchy tunes are the order of the day. There's a fusion of influence coming from soul and prog rock. I wish I could make up a genre name for it right now. John Enghauser has his original take on the sound. His new release, LOST IN THE PAGES, is getting the notice it deserves..." SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

In addition to performing all vocals, John plays guitar, bass and keyboards on Lost In The Pages (Blue Pie Records), which has been played in 13 countries worldwide including England, Australia, Germany, France, New Zealand, Canada and the U.S.

Among Enghauser's favorite songs on "Lost In The Pages" is "Cognition, Inc." "This is a funky re-tooling of a tune I wrote with my former band, Jamawokee. It's a completely different song now and I even changed up the lyrics a bit. The lyric is still one of my favorites. It's a satire which pokes fun of the American media and how much they shape our lives in the way we think and do things without us even knowing it. Think about how often you do, say, wear and buy things based on what you've seen, heard or read in the media. Cognition, Inc. is this big mind-controlling machine that we all submit to which claims to fulfill all of our wildest dreams. We all buy into it, but at what cost?" On a more sensitive note, "So Many People" is "an ode to Jaco Pastorius, the ingenious fusion bassist who died tragically. His biography is the most fascinating story I've ever read. I think it's the only book I've ever read twice. This is one of my favorite songs and one of the best composing jobs I think I've ever done. Sometimes when I listen to the complexities of it I can't believe it came from me. And it grooves so hard! What's ironic about the way I recorded the song is that it's the only time I played the bass line with a pick. I don't think Jaco ever played with a pick in his life."
