A great sounding record that is evergreen.
Bill Berry
"Songwriter's Square"

What a swell album this is from the former actor and stuntman - it's as laid back, subtle and subversively brilliant as music from those other guys with more money - Jack Johnson and John Mayer. The best Z-Man since Zorro

"John Zipperer seems to me to be a cross between Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, while being a true original at the same time."
Gary Austin -Founder- The Groundlings Theater Hollywood CA.

"I received my copy of this truly amazing CD "Full Circle" yesterday and all 13 tracks are awesome, have played it four times now and Love it."
John Breckenridge - IndieShowcase.Net

He looks country on the cover but he’s pure singer/songwriter with soaked up influences from the places he’s lived giving him a mix of Jimmy Buffett and southern blues in his kit bag.  A pleasant sort of chap, Zipperer makes laid back stuff on the whole with some detours into some bluesy moments that reminds you that life isn’t all a bowl of cherries.  He’s certainly a troubadour that goes well with a cool one and laid back times.

 The arrangements are great, they [the musicians] play great together and are not boring for a listener for even a second. Energetic, enthusiastic, and excellent lyrics too. Has the growth [potential] of a very large group.

Certainly one of the best debut albums I have heard for a long time. John's refreshing rendition of Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" is a wonderful change from all the samey versions I've heard previously. In fact the whole album is refreshing in the treatment of the varied material. It carries you from the delights of hearing a steel band on "sailing away" and dreaming of the Caribbean to beautifully crafted love songs. This is an album which deserves a good amount of airplay and an investment in ownership.

John Zipperer is a former American television actor and stuntman who, after being hit by a tanker truck when he changed the tire on the highway outside of Atlanta were treated to a perilous 40-meter long air trip before he crashed.
The near-death experience made ​​him think about the brand and bet everything on the music instead.
Self Released debut album "Full Circle" (John Zipperer / Away from home) serve a neighboring blend of blues, country, gospel and rockabilly where Zipperer's crystal clear tenor constantly leads magnificent and musically backed by a band whose members have the experience of having played the Frank Zapa, Jehro Customs, Vanilla Fudge and The Wallflowers.
12 of the 13 tracks are Zipperers own work and interpretation of Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" is a cover extraordinary.

Singer- songwriter John Zipperer lives and works in California . He was initially a TV actor and stuntman . When changing a tire for a friend in the area of Atlanta , Georgia, he was hit by a large oil truck and should have been dead. That changed his life, he made ​​his way to Los Angeles to pursue music in a lifetime. The first result is - the CD " Full circle " containing 12 original songs and a subdued cover of Van Morrison's " Brown eyed girl " . As many colleagues Zipperer mixes rock, blues , country and folk . Besides Zipperer (vocals , guitars ) we hear are "Friends" on bass , drums , guitar , mandolin , keyboard , ukulele , fiddle , Wurlitzer and more . In the opener , 'Sailing Away' John sounds like a reincarnation of Jimmy Buffett , not least because of the contribution of steel drums . Besides this nod to Buffett , there are many other winks to think like Dan Hicks in the swinging " Here by me ." Most beautiful songs are the sweet ballad " Never really there ' ( mandolin and dobro , harmany beautiful vocals of Tara Sitser ) , the bluesy " Going downtown " , the waltz " The ballad of Micah McDowde ' ( banjo , fiddle ) , the cheerful trifle " Sing with me " (Caribbean rhythm , four-person choir ) and country and soul closer ' to the river ( fiddle , mandolin , and a " Call & Response vocal " with Margaret Owens ) .

An excellent Americana CD of interesting newcomer . Thanks to the hospital in Georgia that came to his rescue . Great songs , great variety and a perfect accompaniment , beautiful voices ! Recommended! ( Independent)
