Asheville trio John Kirby & The New Seniors blends old school pop metal licks with the wild-eyed abandon Minneapolis punk rock and the songwriting chops of skinny tie 1980's power pop.  Fans at live shows are treated to three part harmonies, guitar pyrotechnics, and a loud rock and roll good time.  I spoke to singer/guitarist John Kirby about the band's origins, John's upbringing in a music nerd's home, and how a chance phone call aided his Hurricane Helene recovery.
