John Bastiani

Since re-locating to Sarasota in 2018, I have been performing extensively doing solo acoustic shows as well as two acoustic duos. With Larry Yunker, our duo, ‘NightWatch Duo’, covers everything from Clapton, Tom Petty, The Travelling Wilburys to the Beatles. Along with Julie Van Loan, our duo, ‘Take2’ is a great mix of songs from Fleetwood Mac, Janis Joplin, Tom Petty, Clapton. Lady Gaga, to Amy Winehouse.

In addition to the duos, Larry and I also have a four piece electric, classic rock band, ‘NightWatch’, that can take our sound to another level.

​With his feet planted firmly in the blues, John brings that style to his acoustic work. Story tellers like Bob Dylan and Harry Chapin have always been an influence . Never one to cover a song exactly like the original, John likes to change songs up and put his own spin both vocally and on the guitar.
