Dedicated to John B. Sebastian

John Benson Sebastian is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, harmonicist, and autoharpist. He is best known as a founder of the Lovin' Spoonful, a band inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000; for his impromptu appearance at the Woodstock festival in 1969 and for his #1 hit in 1976, "Welcome Back".

Sebastian was born in 1944  in New York City and grew up in Italy and Greenwich Village. In the early 1960s, Sebastian developed an interest in blues music and in playing harmonica in a blues style.  Through his father's connections, he met and was influenced by blues musicians Sonny Terry and Lightnin' Hopkins. Sebastian became part of the folk and blues scene that was developing in Greenwich Village and later gave rise to folk rock. 

In August 1969, Sebastian made a memorable, albeit unscheduled appearance at Woodstock. Sebastian's Woodstock set consisted of three songs from his recorded but not yet released John B. Sebastian album ("How Have You Been," "I Had a Dream," and "Rainbows All Over Your Blues") and two Lovin' Spoonful songs ("Darling Be Home Soon" and "Younger Generation," which he dedicated to a newborn baby at the festival).

Sebastian has continued to tour and play live, both solo and with a variety of backing bands. He frequently appeared with the J-Band, a jug band including Fritz Richmond from the Jim Kweskin Jug Band, jug band pioneer Yank Rachell, Jimmy Vivino, and Geoff Muldaur. Sebastian and the J-Band were featured in Chasin' Gus' Ghost (2007), a documentary about the roots and influence of jug band music.
