SUMMARY:John Splithoff Stripped Tour
DESCRIPTION:Middle C Jazz presents singer-songwriter and multi-instrument
 alist John Splithoff - The Stripped Tour\, Wed. October 28th\, 7pm\, Boo
 th Playhouse at Blumenthal Arts Center. Performing solo\, Splithoff stri
 ps his catalog back to voice and guitar — the setting where his songwrit
 ing and one of the most soothing\, soulful voices of his generation are 
 most exposed. The tour arrives amid the strongest commercial stretch of 
 Splithoff’s career. His Spotify monthly listeners climbed past 1.1 milli
 on this summer — a 15% jump in a single month — pushing a catalog that h
 as now surpassed 400 million global streams and 60 million video views\,
  alongside more than 115\,000 fan-created videos across TikTok and Insta
 gram Reels. “Tangled\,” the first song Splithoff penned for Far From Her
 e\, blends classic pop with soulful R&B and shares stories of the joys o
 f romantic entanglement. Schooled in timeless songwriter classicism\, hi
 s music often draws on similar values of musicality and song structure\,
  with strong melodic hooks and extended bridges. “Tangled” has been wide
 ly supported at AC Radio\, reaching the Top 30 on the national charts. S
 plithoff’s latest album Far From Here\, released via Virgin in March 202
 5\, draws on classic soul\, pop\, jazz\, roots and R&B. Mostly self-prod
 uced\, Splithoff’s voice and musical approach recalls the icons of music
  from Michael McDonald to Sade\, as well as its more celebrated innovato
 rs like Benny Sings and Mk.Gee. John Splithoff was raised in a music-fil
 led home in the suburbs of Chicago surrounded by the sounds of Stevie Wo
 nder\, Fleetwood Mac\, and Earth\, Wind & Fire\, cornerstones that shape
 d his soulful pop style. After picking up guitar at 13 and teaching hims
 elf through the music of past decades\, his path shifted from sports to 
 songwriting when a missed baseball tryout led him to join a vocal group.
  He went on to earn a degree in Jazz Performance from the University of 
 Miami’s Frost School of Music before moving to New York City\, where he 
 juggled teaching lessons and performing weddings\, and crashing on a fri
 end’s couch while crafting his breakout single “Sing to You.” The song a
 massed over 150 million streams\, topped AC Radio\, and propelled him on
 to international stages alongside artists like Sting\, Ben Folds\, David
  Foster\, and Chris Botti. Following years of touring\, including slots 
 at Lollapalooza\, Bonnaroo\, and opening for Teddy Swims\, Splithoff set
 tled in Los Angeles\, creatively renewed. His latest album\, Far From He
 re\, reflects that evolution\, weaving together themes of change\, conne
 ction\, and rediscovery through vivid snapshots of the places and relati
 onships that have defined him. With Far From Here\, Splithoff captures b
 oth the nostalgia of where he’s been and the clarity of where he’s heade
 d\, solidifying his place as one of pop-soul’s most compelling voices.\n
