About
Born and raised in Wichita, Kansas, and a current resident of Los Angeles, CA John Mueller has had a variety filled entertainment career for over 20 years.
As an actor, John toured nationally in the starring role of the one man comedy nostalgia stage play The Wonder Bread Years, the national tour of the Tony Award winning play, The Real Thing directed by Mike Nichols, and won Kansas City’s Drama Desk award for best actor in Buddy..the Buddy Holly Story at Hallmark Card’s American Heartland Theatre. TV roles include some parts on Ellen, E!

He also starred in an episode of the web series Above Ground which featured his original song, The Darkest Blue from his latest album release You are Here.
In 2005, John was proud to have performed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with John Mellencamp, Marshall Crenshaw, Nanci Griffith, and Joe Ely for a concert celebrating the legacy of Buddy Holly. He has also shared the stage before with Taj Mahal, The Coasters, Peter Nero, Tommy Allsup, Bobby Vee and Bill Haley’s Original Comets.
Though John is indelibly linked to Buddy Holly he’ll forever continue writing and performing his own compositions which have roots of Buddy Holly, Willie Nelson, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Roger Miller, Warren Zevon, John Prine and Chuck Berry all shaken in a martini glass. Great original music in the Americana roots tradition.
