His parents would raise their six children in Port Morien where coal mining was the communities pulse.

Music would enter his life at twelve years old when he found Eddy Arnold and Charlie Pride records in this parent collection,. He picked up his first guitar at thirteen and began to play three chord country. When he was introduced to rock music he added to his guitar chops, took up drums and formed the group South Paw. South Paw would put John Curtis in the spotlight. It was clubs on the weekends and then off to late night kitchen parties to sing old country songs. Playing music was keeping him out of trouble and he began to look at it more seriously. He wanted to write his own songs. A meeting with Robert Naugle (RIP) would change the course of his life.

Robert Naugle was a poet. John Curtis joined the commune lifestyle Robert was living in and they began to write songs. The first attempts were pretty sketchy but eventually they would get their groove on and produce “Learn To Let Go” and “Fancy” and John Curtis recorded a two song EP. Eventually John Curtis found love, settled into a job as a fisherman and continued to play when he could, In the evenings, he was still writing songs.
