About John Anthony Saucier

"I'm very proud to be independent. It saves me from listening to what I ‘should and shouldn't do, so I can be as creative as I want with my music”.
Born October 11, 1958
I started playing the guitar at the age of nine and I began writing songs at age sixteen.
Some of you may want to know my secret for songwriting. Lol.
I'm not a natural songwriter. Meaning that I don't write songs for a living or just for the sake of doing it.
Something has to come to pass in my life be it good or bad that is so monumental tit shakes my spirit and rattles my soul. Only then can I stop anything I'm doing and anywhere I'm going and sit down to write a song about it. It's always happened that way for me since I was 16 years old.
Originally, I was a lead guitar player. I used to be good, but carpal tunnel in both hands turned me into a mediocre player. I used to sing a lot better too. But I'm 62 years old. Now I'm just an old guy having some fun. One thing you might have noticed is that none of my tunes sound the same. These songs are probably my best efforts to date.
So, for me, there really are only two genres of music - theirs and mine.
I just like mine more. Lol.

The sweet attitude in the song
This song, When You Love Me, only proves it we are facing here some prolific artist capable of producing fine rock songs at a large measure and you just stop in amazement at how cool the whole thing is, forcing to take a ride across the paradigms of rock'n'roll catering to modern age rather, and it's endearing for how much the man, who's music draws from an innumerable variety of different sources feels himself this complete and assured along the way. Cool...

Nice melodies from some prolific artist

This song, Masquerade, shows how a good song is to be done these days, (expired link). to the point, lavishly and absolutely nicely arranged without excess or anything. A real and full-blooded rock guitar here is positive as well. And yes, this all comes down to the 60s or 70s. You may clearly discern some Santana touch to it as and it's great, why not? The 60s continue to control the world of music to this very day.

Hold On To Your Heart review
I've reviewed other works of yours and I see you have quite a few songs that you are asking for reviews on them. Many of them appear to be past live performances. The main issue with these types of songs is they usually aren't the best productions that they can be. This is the case in this song as well. It is not that it isn't a good song, because it is a catchy tune that flows well. But it's recording is not the best quality it can be. The rhythm guitar is much drier and appears to be either mixed in later or mixed too hot at the time. The vocals are harmonized nicely but with too much reverb. In short, this could be a good song if it were re-recorded professionally in a studio and mixed properly to bring out its best. I hope this helps you understand what needs to be done to get your songs at a level that your listeners and/or reviewers can get the most out of your work. They deserve it and you do too. Good luck in the future and hopefully you will try re-recording your best work for us all.

Being into rock fully makes you feel good, knowing their such numbers for your listening leisure. Cool rock sound is available here, nice rock guitar parts involved to make it even better. Basically, it's well done, up to date, no black points to be stated or anything. Of course, this song inevitably makes you think there is somebody out there whom we know as Jude Cole and stuff, but let me ask you, people: these days is there anything not attempted in the world of music, and is there anything at all nobody tried?

John Anthony Saucier again delivers a moving love song in his rough yet sensitive style. This time with his excellent live band; which really gives the song some kick and drive. Super catchy and melodic, Love Me As I Am grabs you with its infectious hook. The lyric is vulnerable yet powerful and the band's live dynamics are excellent in putting this across. I give Love Me As I Am a full 5-star rating.

A really nice song
Live productions are hard to do well, but this is working pretty well with a decent balance for a live sound! I love it when the drums come in. The reduction down to acoustic guitar and vocal, then add in the bass, then back up, keeps your interest in the song so that it does not become boring. Back to the drums; tasteful and not overdone, like the lead guitar, it works well and aids in keeping the interest in the song on the message. Good job!!

The song is a good song, BUT, I'm not feeling the performance, from instrumental to vocal it feels stiff, without emotional involvement. The piano sounds as if it was a midi file as opposed t playing with feeling. On the bright side, the guitar solo was great. My suggestion is to strip the song bare. Try a new lead vocalist that can interpret what the song is about. Have that person lay a vocal that can be the reference for other instrumentation. Have the guitarist as an accompaniment for the vocalist. THEN build around that. Its a solid song. I would love to hear a redo.

A blend of classic rock, with a real blues, feel as well. I the live venue feel is great, almost makes me think of ZZ Top, or at least influenced. Definitely a song to get your foot tapping! I like the equalization of the track, although at times the crowd is a little overpowering versus the music. I really like this song, the only suggestion I'd make is at the end, instead of a fade-out of the track, fade out the music; and leave the crowd/vocals interacting with the crowd. It would give it that real Recorded Live feel... Keep up the great work!

What a joy to check out a song by John Saucier from the first drum beat to the screaming blues guitar and actually sounds like duals licks plucking out the message and being preformed live just drove the tune up the levels of greatness, John as usual did his thing on the vocals and rasped out the message and friends you will have to listen a second and maybe a third time because it grows on you! So much jammed in this tune hard to catch it all the first time around.! Great performance! Thanks for asking for a review! I would list this song as blues rocking country low down and dirty toe stomping music, you will like the vocals and every instrument laid out there! You nailed this one!
