SUMMARY:John Splithoff Stripped Tour
LOCATION:Booth Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:Middle C Jazz presents singer-songwriter and multi-instrumental
 ist John Splithoff - The Stripped Tour\, Wed. October 28th\, 7pm\, Booth P
 layhouse at Blumenthal Arts Center. Performing solo\, Splithoff strips his
  catalog back to voice and guitar — the setting where his songwriting an
 d one of the most soothing\, soulful voices of his generation are most exp
 osed.\n\nThe tour arrives amid the strongest commercial stretch of Splitho
 ff's career. His Spotify monthly listeners climbed past 1.1 million this s
 ummer — a 15% jump in a single month — pushing a catalog that has now 
 surpassed 400 million global streams and 60 million video views\, alongsid
 e more than 115\,000 fan-created videos across TikTok and Instagram Reels.
 \n\n"Tangled\," the first song Splithoff penned for Far From Here\, blends
  classic pop with soulful R&B and shares stories of the joys of romantic e
 ntanglement. Schooled in timeless songwriter classicism\, his music often 
 draws on similar values of musicality and song structure\, with strong mel
 odic hooks and extended bridges. "Tangled" has been widely supported at AC
  Radio\, reaching the Top 30 on the national charts.\n\nSplithoff's latest
  album Far From Here\, released via Virgin in March 2025\, draws on classi
 c soul\, pop\, jazz\, roots and R&B. Mostly self-produced\, Splithoff's vo
 ice and musical approach recalls the icons of music from Michael McDonald 
 to Sade\, as well as its more celebrated innovators like Benny Sings and M
 k.Gee.\n\nJohn Splithoff was raised in a music-filled home in the suburbs 
 of Chicago surrounded by the sounds of Stevie Wonder\, Fleetwood Mac\, and
  Earth\, Wind & Fire\, cornerstones that shaped his soulful pop style. Aft
 er picking up guitar at 13 and teaching himself through the music of past 
 decades\, his path shifted from sports to songwriting when a missed baseba
 ll tryout led him to join a vocal group. He went on to earn a degree in Ja
 zz Performance from the University of Miami's Frost School of Music before
  moving to New York City\, where he juggled teaching lessons and performin
 g weddings\, and crashing on a friend's couch while crafting his breakout 
 single "Sing to You." The song amassed over 150 million streams\, topped A
 C Radio\, and propelled him onto international stages alongside artists li
 ke Sting\, Ben Folds\, David Foster\, and Chris Botti.\n\nFollowing years 
 of touring\, including slots at Lollapalooza\, Bonnaroo\, and opening for 
 Teddy Swims\, Splithoff settled in Los Angeles\, creatively renewed. His l
 atest album\, Far From Here\, reflects that evolution\, weaving together t
 hemes of change\, connection\, and rediscovery through vivid snapshots of 
 the places and relationships that have defined him. With Far From Here\, S
 plithoff captures both the nostalgia of where he's been and the clarity of
  where he's headed\, solidifying his place as one of pop-soul's most compe
 lling voices.\n\nBoletos: https://www.blumenthalarts.org/events/detail/joh
