"He's as comfortable with a 6-string in his hands as he is penning
story songs in the vein  of Steve Goodman and John Prine”

 - Peter Heckbert     The Daily News


Growing up in rural Colchester County just outside Truro, Nova Scotia gave John a deep appreciation and respect for the important things in life, like family, friends and nature. From a very young age he started developing an interest and passion for music, and it has always been a big part of his life.

In 2004 John Simms was inducted into the Nova Scotia Country Music Hall of Fame as a member of the NS Ramblers. He has been called “a gentle soul with a gentle sound.” 

Over the years he has had the opportunity to share the stage with fellow  performers such as Ron Hynes, Valdy, Dave Gunning, JP Cormier, Matt Andersen, Bruce Guthro, Terry Kelly, Jimmy Flynn, Charlie A’Court, and many others, earning him the respect of artists and fans from around the world for his musicianship, songwriting skills, and humble disposition.

He also produces and hosts an ongoing series of songwriters' circles called “Share the Music”.

He continues enchanting audiences large and small with his smooth guitar playing, heartfelt lyrics and relatable and humorous stories, both as a solo artist as well as fronting The John Simms Trio. Suited perfectly for (but certainly not limited to) festivals, “listening rooms”, and private shows, his music, with its infectious melodies have fans humming his tunes long after the spotlight has dimmed.
