Music for Planetary Healing

ALL of the music I make is motivated by my love for the beautiful, sentient being of the planet we live on, to the earth, water, and sky, but most of all, to the water. Water is life, and the sounds I make are a prayer to the source of life.

JOHN SHELDON DISCOGRAPHY
40 YEARS OF ALBUMS 1978 - 2018

Four decades of musical evolution from folk to rock to meditative and trance-like improvisational musical journeys.

All songs and music written by John Sheldon.

PLANET SONG (2017)

“To anchor the vibration of love in our earth.” This album is all one song, an improvisation that emerged in one sitting, on 12-string guitar. Using loops and a few extra parts, I left it pretty much as it came out, unrehearsed, in one take.

EARTHMAN (2015)

Songs from every period of my songwriting life. “Earthman” is one of the first songs I wrote that seemed to come out of nowhere, in 1977. 40 years later, it is recorded! Includes "September Grass", my song that appeared on JAMES TAYLOR’s platinum OCTOBER ROAD album.

A WAY THROUGH (2011)

A cycle of music I wrote to accompany Donna Jenson’s audio play, “What She Knows”, a first person account of finding joy after surviving sexual abuse. The music was written to help heal from the trauma, and includes the song, “It Wasn’t Your Fault.”
