About
Who is this guy?
John Paperback is a Spanish songwriter with the soul of an American troubadour. From his early days with The Paperbacks to his current work with The Railroad Sinners, John has spent over a decade blending British influences with the raw sounds of American roots music.
His discography spans introspective home-studio projects like Dust & Rails and Now That The Journey is Half Done to the electric, sharp-edged sounds of 2023’s Night City Skylines. Inspired by the likes of Paul Simon and Johnny Cash, John’s music is a bridge between cultures and eras.
2026 marks a bold new chapter for John with the release of Las Condiciones de mi Rendición. Recorded at Paperland Studios and co-produced by Silas Scanu, this upcoming record is his first-ever Spanish-language album, set to arrive in late May.

John Paperback es un cantautor español con alma de trovador estadounidense. Desde sus inicios con The Paperbacks hasta su trabajo actual con The Railroad Sinners, John ha pasado más de una década fusionando influencias británicas con los sonidos crudos de la música de raíces americana.
Su discografía abarca desde proyectos introspectivos grabados en su estudio casero, como Dust & Rails y Now That The Journey is Half Done, hasta el sonido eléctrico y afilado de Night City Skylines (2023). Inspirada por figuras de la talla de Paul Simon y Johnny Cash, la música de John actúa como un puente entre culturas y épocas.
El 2026 marca un nuevo y audaz capítulo para John con el lanzamiento de Las Condiciones de mi Rendición. Grabado en Paperland Studios y coproducido por Silas Scanu, este nuevo trabajo es su primer álbum íntegramente en español y su estreno está previsto para finales de mayo.
