First Song Is Out!
I Hear A Voice
Waterfall Release!
In this new world of music listening and personal media and social media saturation, JML is teasing out one song at a time, rather than plop the whole album down at once.
I Hear A Voice
I’ve been working for years to listen to my intuition. That little voice. It’s always been there, I haven’t always listened to it. It’s a learned skill, for me anyway. I feel like I’m making headway!
I made this video with Ai!!! I was really hesitant, even afraid, to work with Ai. Ignorance is like that!
Thing is, I really struggle to make video content. I’m pretty much a one-man show, and I don’t have a label or a bankroll behind me. Simply getting decent film footage is almost impossible for me, let alone video editing!
So I tried an Ai, put in some simple prompts, and it made this video. It’s kinda crazy-seeming to me. Make a music video in a few minutes. Literally. Wacky.
Joy Through Music!
Okanagan, Canada based Alt-Country & Roots musician John Michael Lind (JML) delivers Joy Through Music to audiences across the world!
With over a decade touring Canada & Europe, JML’s sweet tenor voice and driving rhythm guitar give you the fun and excitement of a great musical connection at every one of his shows.
With his original songs, drawn from a deep well of living, and his unique take on great songs from the likes of John Prine, Gordon Lightfoot, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt and more… John Michael Lind (JML) is like a mash-up of Blue Rodeo, America, and Pure Prairie League, with performances that stay with you long after the show ends…
JML’s original songs are well-crafted, sometimes tender, sometimes funny, always easy to like, and they really connect. His fun songs tickle you, and his sweet love songs touch your soul, shining a little light into forgotten corners of your heart and wrapping you in a warm blanket of fine music.
You’re not at a JML show – you’re in it!
JML is an experienced touring artist with over 10 years of stage experience, ranging across Western Canada & Europe. His 2 albums, Out On The Land & Lightning Rod receive critical acclaim across the globe.
Great Music, Well-Played. Check out John Michael Lind!

Burning Road.
Your new song I Hear A Voice gave me the body chills. The arrangement and tightness were amazing. Very much a country rock vibe. Vocals were clean and solid.
“This crisp-sounding EP should be Lind’s ticket to the next level of fame.”
“Out on the Land’s title track [is] a modern-day dust-bowl ballad about an old man living out his declining days on the prairie, and there’s clearly something real to it.”
“Beautiful Dancing Lady is a song of desire and seduction…”
“…an attractive light tenor… knows his way around a guitar.”
“Oh my God, it was so awesome! John laid out the tunes, he was deadly! We can’t wait to have him back.”
