JOHN MACCORMACK (Lead guitar, bass, vocals)
John has been a performing musician in Kelowna since his youth. As a singer, songwriter, and guitarist he founded
a musical family group which traveled extensively throughout Western Canada as the popular performing and
recording band known as Shamash, playing to sold-out crowds at innumerable cabarets, clubs and conventions.
With high energy covers and original works they became one of the most popular show and dance bands on the road,
incl. performing as the opening act for Gino Vannelli and Fludd. John came back to Kelowna to settle down to family life,
but kept his musical energy alive with such bands as Fancy That, High Henry, and Connection. Past and present,
these involvements led to the formation of the Johnny Mac Trio and now the duo Johnny G and the Keyster.
