From Noise Complaints to Kazoo Solos: The People Next Door
What happens when a solo acoustic artist teams up with friends to create a dynamic band, only to find themselves bonding with local law enforcement over noise complaints? That’s just one of the unexpected turns in the musical journey of the John Pesci Show band. We sit down with the guys to uncover their story, from humble beginnings to memorable performances like Timberfest. Adam also shares the unique challenges and rewards of taking over his family bar, adding another layer to their multifaceted journey.
Ever wondered how psychedelic reggae, blues, and hip-hop can blend into a unique sound? Each band member reveals their musical roots and influences, painting a vivid picture of their eclectic style. Humor and camaraderie take center stage as they recount stories from their high school days and collaborations within the local music scene. Josh, their bass player, gets a special mention for his pivotal role in their musical evolution, and we hear touching anecdotes about family influences that have shaped their artistic paths.
But it’s not all serious business; expect plenty of laughs and spontaneous moments. From playful banter about playing bass and eating tacos to a surprise kazoo performance, this episode captures the essence of the band's fun-loving spirit. Johnny’s heartfelt song "Shoes" and the band's upcoming show at the VFW in Bushnell highlight their knack for connecting with audiences. Join us for an unforgettable ride through the blues, reggae, rock, and jam band influences that make the John PC Show band truly one-of-a-kind.

Here we are, another lovely episode of Dial the Wild Podcast, and I'm here with none other than the John PC Show.
Speaker 3:Woo, woo, woo woo.
Speaker 2:How we doing boys. What's up Doing great Hola. He says You're how we doing boys. What's up Doing great Hola. He says You're going to hear a little something in the background. We're sitting outdoors, they're getting ready to Do. You guys practice outside all the time.
Speaker 4:Most of the time when we can.
Speaker 2:When it's not like Thanksgiving and shit.
Speaker 5:Okay, we've gotten the cops called on this past few times.
Speaker 3:We times, we become good friends, yeah, they like us, they like our music, they make requests, that's good, that's good stuff.
Speaker 2:When did this band come to be? Because, like, uh, just following the music scene in the area and stuff, you guys just kind of like arrived out of nowhere. And then when we saw you at timber fest it was like, oh, these guys are pretty good yeah, we got together um last year sometime.
Speaker 4:Uh, adam just wanted to ask me to play a show at his bar here and I got my little cousin Jared to come join us, and then one thing led to another, kind of fell into it.
Speaker 2:Johnny's being humble. It started as the John PC show. It was just John and he was playing acoustic and he was playing gigs and whatnot out and he asked me if I wanted to play the show with him, and so it was like an acoustic and electric thing. I was playing electric, he was playing acoustic nice adam jumped up and he started playing, and then it just kind of it formed from there.
Speaker 2:I don't know where this guy came from and then I just tagged along I guess bass players never wanted bro don't feel bad then there, it's worked out nicely, though who gave him a?
Speaker 2:mic. No, but first time seeing you guys was at timber fest last year and that was an absolute blast. Um, you guys were like the perfect band to start like, because at timber fest a lot of times it's the acoustic and uh and kind of the bluegrass and the folky music and stuff for most of the morning and early afternoon and then usually start with your rock bands and stuff. Then you guys popped on and did your thing and got the afternoon started, right you know, and then chew toy followed up and it was just, it was, it was just a good way to go into the afternoon. So, uh, timber fest always, always a special place in my heart.
Speaker 3:Unfortunately, we're not. We had a great time.
Speaker 2:That was really fun opening up that electric set like it was. It was really cool to open that up. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately it's not happening this year, hopefully, hopefully next year. But uh, no, actually saw you guys there then, like I said, came back from that uh that um craft brew deal up in burlington, came back, saw you guys there and then I saw you guys a couple other times, but apparently, apparently, I don't remember it too well.
Speaker 2:Sign of a good time, man, we remember you it was like you all come up and introduce yourselves.
Speaker 3:It's like, bro, we met and you're like yeah, I got you met twice now, yeah, exactly actually my first time here was two winters ago.
Speaker 2:My buddy, stevie moe, was part of a comedy show that was in here and he absolutely bombed.
Speaker 5:Oh no, what was his stage name?
Speaker 2:Stevie Moe. Stevie Moe, yeah, he was here for a comedy show and he was one of the first few acts that went on. And it's become a rule now where I'm not allowed to go to his comedy shows because every time I show up he bombs, which is weird, but he was like beating himself up on the way home. He was like beating himself up on the way home. He's like dude. I did not read that room. I was like you got to understand Galesburg bro?
Speaker 3:yeah, you know you got, it's a different yeah, middle class, you got.
Speaker 2:Upper class, you got lower class, you every color, every nationality. You can think of Big money, little money. If you didn't hit it right with that crowd or part of that crowd, you're going to have a tough time getting to all of them, just because Galesburg's a very diverse community.
Speaker 5:It can get awkward up there.
Speaker 4:There's been a couple other comedy shows where I've been kind of afraid. I thought he was hilarious. Oh yeah, he was just playing to us.
Speaker 2:We were on the side of the bar and he was just crushing with us, but everybody else was just dead.
Speaker 4:Not feeling it Wasn't quite dead. Face A little more than that.
Speaker 2:A lot of good times to be had here.
Speaker 4:When did you start doing this?
Speaker 2:deal, adam, a little more than that Angry. A lot of good times to be had here. When did you start doing this deal, adam? The patio here in Galesburg Three years ago.
Speaker 5:It's going on three years now. I took over after my dad had passed away unexpectedly. I didn't want to go into anybody else's hands at that time, I just kind of rolled the dice with it.
Speaker 2:And here I am, gotcha, yeah, and I got to know, I got to know you through, okay, I'll tell you this story, to tell you that story, but I'm literally at my sister jess. You all know my sister jess, yeah, yeah, I'm at her and will's wedding and of all people, I walk my wife up to this dude and I tell her honey, I want you to meet one of my best friends in the world. This is my favorite dirtball. Do you know who we're talking about? Yet Keep reaching out.
Speaker 3:It can't be me.
Speaker 2:Think Liberty Street dude, Think of Brandon.
Speaker 4:Watts, my man, my man, brandon.
Speaker 1:We're live, yeah, that fits perfect.
Speaker 2:No, I think we learned about you guys through Brandon, which is kind of how you guys got out to Timberfest. But yeah, I played a lot of music with Brandon back in the day, you know back in the young dude metal scene and then remembering the Liberty Street days and it's like oh yeah, Adam was in that band. I'm like what? Yeah, All right, tell us some story.
Speaker 5:I kind of fell into the drums on that band. Him and Mark Sherwin introduced me into that world of metal because I was never familiar with it and they had no drummers really at that time. So and I'm still not a metal drummer at all, I don't do blast beats, I'm not good on the double bass, but you make it work. I just yeah.
Speaker 2:I just like, hey, this is what I can do yeah, one of my best buddies growing up was an amazing drummer and he wasn't, I want to say a metal drummer, but he's just a whiz at music theory and knew how to transition from one part to the next and made it work. So it's awesome. So you guys have been doing what? Two or three gigs a month, or so far We've taken kind of a I wouldn't say a hiatus, but we've slowed down a little bit. We were cooking there for a little bit.
Speaker 4:Yeah, over the summer we had a little downtime over the winter. As someone ends, life happens Absolutely.
Speaker 2:We're back in the runs. Yep, awesome, you bringing new stuff out. Are you still rocking the same set right now? We're always bringing new stuff out.
Speaker 5:Always bringing new stuff out. Every show's new. Like what?
Speaker 4:we think, like to say every show's different, like usually we got our songs that we play and then like in between songs we like to. You know, we've become more of a jam band in that sense where we jam from one to the other. We don't introduce songs, we kind of let them flow into each other. Hell yeah.
Speaker 2:Speaking of new stuff, if you guys don't mind me saying.
Speaker 3:Go ahead, jared, take the lead.
Speaker 2:We have a band name change too.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:We are now called the People.
Speaker 4:Next Door.
Speaker 2:The People next door.
Speaker 4:I did. I had to relinquish my name.
Speaker 2:We just took a giant crap on all of the buildup I've been doing over the last few weeks. Just kidding. No, john put me in on that. He goes. We're going to drop that on podcast. But yeah, you guys are going to change up the name yeah, so where did that idea come from? Just everybody's sick of talking about John.
Speaker 5:We won't say that.
Speaker 4:I'm never tired of talking about myself, but I had to let these guys get some of the spotlight. I mean, it started with me just doing my solo show and it's not really that set anymore. It's not that same thing. Right, We've grown.
Speaker 2:It's become a full form band.
Speaker 4:We needed to drop that old school stuff and go on with our own thing.
Speaker 2:It was just something to hold us over until we knew we were going to change the name eventually, but it was just something to hold us over for Well like you said, you were all just kind of thrown up on stage, started playing, figuring it out, and you're just like, well, let's just roll with this name.
Speaker 4:Yeah, exactly, we might want to think about changing that someday we didn't necessarily know how long this was going to go on and you know, it kind of became more stronger than ourselves. You know, Yep, Yep.
Speaker 3:For sure.
Speaker 2:Rolling strong, though, oh for sure, yeah, having a great time with it, I mean so much fun.
Speaker 4:It's a lot of fun. Got to ride your wave while you're having it Well, since we haven't done this yet.
Speaker 2:Yet why don't we do a round table and just who you are and what you do and go from there? Oh, starting on the bass, I'm josh. I know everybody wants to hear me first. Huh, he's got a dude. I I walk into. I walk into the patio here and josh is sitting there. He's like the only one I recognize. So I'm like, okay, I know, I know who the other three look like, but I know josh. So I walk in and I'm like, hey, he goes, he goes. Hey, how you doing man, you want a shot? I'm like I'm here and so he's eating these tacos. I'm like I gotta have those tacos.
Speaker 3:Oh, man, I had to eat the tacos before I could do anything today, man.
Speaker 4:Dude, it was so good. Yeah, the tacos. How were they? They were fire.

Speaker 2:Kazoo. No, I'm the lead guitar player Of, I guess, the people next door now Heck. Yeah, I really like the sound, because Some people would call it like psychedelic rock, some people would call it alternative, some people would call it bluesy, almost at times Like, where did the sound come from? Or was it just something that you started, everybody built around? Or was it like you all kind of threw your influences together?
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's kind of a. You know it's a mix of all of us. We all come from different backgrounds. You know, like I've kind of more of a you know, psychedelic reggae vibe, sure Jared obviously he's a blues master Absolutely. Checo brings that hip-hop influence to us. Well, we got Josh over there.
Speaker 3:Hey, I'm Josh on the bass. He has no influences, he just hits it. I'm the glue that holds this ship together. Josh is really good.
Speaker 4:He's our foundation. He holds the rock there. The MVP Doing proper bass holds the rock there, because the MVP Doing proper bass Keep going, guys, keep going. You don't hear it when it's there, but you notice it when it's gone, you know 100%.

Speaker 2:But you're a blues guy, huh yeah, oh nice. My dad got me into the blues when I was real young and I never even really wanted to play guitar. He just got me a guitar when I was eight because he saw me playing air guitar to I think it was Sweet Home Alabama in his computer room. Guitar to uh, I think it was sweet home alabama in his computer room and I was just jamming to it and he was like you know what, I'm gonna get him a guitar. So he got me one and I never really touched it and then he brought me to a blues concert. I'm like that's what I want to do. I I kind of feel this vibe where it's like venus and serena's dad taking him to tennis courts just like these are my girls watch him play like he found out you could play and all of a sudden he starts feeding you all this music and pushing you out in front of people.
Speaker 2:Yeah, in a sense yeah.
Speaker 4:Who was the cat you grew up next to? That was in the Buckshot. Oh, Ian Johnson.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he lived right down the hall from my dad's apartment and I'd hear him play. He was the person that tuned restrung my first guitar.

It was a song I wrote, kind of I've always had always had these weird neighbors around, you know, and we, like, we made a joke at home, like man, what was the weird? Well, eventually I became the real weird neighbor, those weird neighbors. They moved out and then we got straight neighbors next to us. I'm, I'm like, well, now I'm the people next door.

Speaker 4:So we'll get all the golfers when they're done, when they're nice and lifted, get their spirits lifted even more from us.
Speaker 2:You have to enter a certain zone to understand the guys next door. Exactly, don't come into a guys next door show completely sober. I hope they dig us. Nah it'll be a good venue, like the vfw is just loves doing stuff like this. We like we had in-laws and outlaws last night and uh, how was that turnout?
Speaker 2:it was pretty good. You know they had a good turnout. They had like a all 80s decade uh class reunion thing in bushnell, that's cool. So like they had a bunch of folks out and they were bouncing between that and Revel and Red, I don't know, if you know they're like a rock band cover band that played.

Speaker 3:At least the sun's going down. Yep, jared is our fair-skinned individual friend.
Speaker 1:Fair-skinned bear.
Speaker 2:Look at this hat line and you guys got the one video up on YouTube, and stuff too, which is a song called Shoes. Is that right, that's?
Speaker 3:correct.
Speaker 2:That's one of Johnny's oldest songs and I've always loved playing that that song's morphed itself. Yeah.
Speaker 5:It started as a song about peace.
Speaker 4:Well, it started as a bluegrass song, really like back when I was in my bluegrass days and it was about an old girlfriend I had, that you know. That eventually moved out. She took everything out except left a closet of shoes. So you know, I just kind of Sold them huh.
Speaker 1:When I had to do something with them.
Speaker 4:I was down and out and kind of thinking of things and I was like, well, let me put this to something positive and maybe make some creativity out of it. So I put the shoes out in the middle of my floor in this big circle and I started playing the guitar around them.
Speaker 2:And you sold them. Well, we'll get to that.
Speaker 4:It's neither here nor there. I may have got a few bucks out of them.
Speaker 2:I'll tell you a funny story. I think that was probably one of the first songs that John taught me how to play, because when I was growing up, I always wanted to show him how I played guitar.
Speaker 4:Well, your mom always wanted me to see you play and I was like, alright, he's like 12. We'll see.
Speaker 2:Kind of blowing me off. One time I got him during a family event and I'm like come upstairs with me right now, I'm gonna show you me playing guitar like okay, okay, let's see. And then I played and he was like all right, you're good duck, we'll play together you're mine now you don't know what you wrote yourself into like you wanted this man like I said, that's probably one of the first songs that we ever played together yeah, we did some event things.
Speaker 4:We played at Noodles Nick.
Speaker 2:Barmenter's Remembrance, and that's when you guys were doing the acoustic.
Speaker 4:Yeah, kind of acoustic electric thing.
Speaker 5:Way back. You were playing with somebody, a girl.
Speaker 4:I was playing in Streets Ahead.
Speaker 2:Was it her shoes.
Speaker 4:No, no, no, you don't shit where you eat. You can, but it gets messy yeah.
Speaker 4:It gets real messy yeah, and weird, but yeah, I've been in a couple bands with some female friends of mine and it's always worked out pretty well. I think at the time, yeah, we were with Streets Ahead that was Whitney Roberts and Noodle and then I played with Eric Baumgartner and Nicky Noodle. We were in a band called Last of their Kind, but, yeah, we were trying to take something off with the Me you, Josh, Noodle and, I think, Ritney at one point.
Speaker 3:We were trying. Yeah, we were trying.
Speaker 2:In the basement. Yeah, so how is music and stuff doing in galesburg nowadays? It always seemed like there was always something going on. You didn't really know what it was until like last minute, but yeah there was always something going on in galesburg. It was usually like it at the tracks or billiards on may or or something like that. There was always a show going on.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that was doing a good job.
Speaker 4:Now, though, bringing a lot of. Yeah, it went away for a while and and I really feel Adam and the Patio here has really strengthened the scene in town.
Speaker 3:Absolutely For sure People from out of town too. Yeah, which just had a band from Nashville, yep.
Speaker 2:Who was that?
Speaker 5:Friday Friday night, nice, david Young and the Interstate Kings from.
Speaker 4:Nashville, tennessee. Those guys were rowdy yeah three brothers.
Speaker 5:How'd you get hooked up with them? They called the patio and just kind of linked up man.
Speaker 4:Shot the shit on the phone. They were coming through the area.
Speaker 5:Yeah, they did a self-made tour, summer tour. That's awesome, yep, good guys.
Speaker 2:Yeah, those guys were pretty cool and then you get married and you have kids.
Speaker 4:Then all those self-made tours are just like well, I gotta make rent next month. They're all like 22, 23, so with girlfriends. Yeah, how that's awesome. I remember the day.
Speaker 2:What's what's Cobain's group called, that's Nirvana.
Speaker 4:We got a friend. We got a friend Insom right. Is that what he goes by, insom yeah? Insom Cobain yeah, he's got some pretty good stuff going on.
Speaker 5:Shout out to Cobain. Shout out Cobain. He's our little boy.
Speaker 4:He's our. We took him under our wing.
Speaker 5:He's been there from the beginning.
Speaker 2:Yeah helping us out, Setting up the stage, I mean solid.
Speaker 5:So good to us.
Speaker 2:Helping us set up and everything. They're awesome. Yeah, from day one.
Speaker 4:Loading equipment, taking it where it needs to go.
Speaker 2:Yep, they came all the way to Macomb with us.
Speaker 5:That's when we first started and we were doing like four hour gigs. We're trying foot like just absolutely didn't know where we fit in as a band. We're like are we a four-hour cover band? You know, bar band. And we dwindled down to three hours, you know for an x amount of dollars, and then we dwindled down to two out, you know now we've all agreed to be like. You know, like hour and a half we're, we're a band now.
Speaker 4:We're not just a bar band.
Speaker 2:We're, we're a band, nothing is that covers, and I think we had like one or two, if, if, even that, and we made them our own. Yeah, we had all mine.
Speaker 4:Now we've doubled that probably in the new songs that we've written.
Speaker 5:One of our jams is like 10 minutes. They range from 7 to 10 to 12 minute long.
Speaker 2:Well, that's the genre though too, like you know, playing the kind of stuff you guys like, it's very melodic, it's very organic, solo-driven at times.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you'll never hear the same show once or twice.
Speaker 5:We'll have an hour and a half up there, no breaks, nothing like that, because we found when we take a break and come back, it's not the same.
Speaker 4:Energy changes. The people that are there that want to see us start there at the beginning and then they don't get to see the really heady, fun stuff that we do at the end of the night. So we like to just have it all happen at once. You're here for the show, buy the ticket, stick around.
Speaker 2:And Jess helped out with getting you guys at the cafe show in Macomb.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, definitely it was really cool.
Speaker 2:Unfortunately, I couldn't make that one.
Speaker 4:That was a really fun one. That, that one, but that was a really fun one that was a halloween little halloween, spooky ghoulish there you go.
Speaker 2:It's such a crazy, crazy narrow venue but it works for macomb it just and they kind of asked us there.
Speaker 4:They were like well, what kind of genre are you guys? And I was like man, you tell us I really don't know you're gonna have to tell us like, because you know we got blue songs, we got reggae songs, we got jam band songs, you got rock songs, and the guy at the end he's like yeah, I really don't know what you guys are, but it was great, we'll have you back well, that's what makes it awesome you take all these different stylistic influences and you cram it into one beautiful patio taco, a little slop.
Speaker 3:Oh man, that's good. You want another one, don't you, travis? I'm thinking about it. The next one's on me, brother.
Speaker 2:I'm on it.
Speaker 4:A space player, josh, buying tacos.
Speaker 3:No, not for you guys, dude, just Travis.
Speaker 2:Bad mates could piss off.
Speaker 5:Do you still jam?
Speaker 2:I jam a little bit. It's tough. With other musicians Like it depends on the day, I guess.
