John Myers, the local singer and songwriter who achieved some minor success as a soul singer in the 1960s and early '70s, is releasing his first ever solo album and one of just a few records he's made since the Hearts of Stone's 1970 Motown disc Stop the World.
Jack Neely chronicled Myers' career, which started at Green Elementary School and continued through the East Knoxville club scene with Clifford Curry to a mid-'60s appearance on The Merve Griffin Show and Motown, in 2007.
Myers' new album, I Ain't Goin' Nowhere, will be available at the Knoxville Museum of Art's Alive After Five series on Friday, May 7. Myers will perform with the musicians from the disc--Sean McCullough on keyboards, Chris Durman on acoustic guitar and harmonica, Steve White on mandolin, Maria Williams on bass, Steve Corrigan on drums, and Kevin Abernathy on electric guitar.
It's a free show, and starts at 6 p.m.
