We Came To Play
Release Date: 2013
Awarded "Album of the Year" by the National Thumbpickers Hall of Fame!
After 50 years of playing guitar, John Standefer regards this past year as one of the greatest in his career. "Partnering with Brooks Robertson to form the Brooks & John guitar duo, performing concerts together and developing this new CD has been like medicine to me”, says John. The magic of their arrangements and playing ability really shines through in the wide range of pop music styles and techniques found on their premiere CD, We Came To Play.
