MMONDAY OCT 6, 2025 - WYEP 91.3 & Straub Brewing Presents:
AcoustiCafe Open Stage host John Kolar with Special Guests!
THEME: “COLORS”
JOHN KOLAR has a new album "color blind" coming out this November, so we're looking for songs about Colors, Kolars, Collars, Colas, Koalas, Curlers and Coolers BUT NOTHING ELSE. (or like whatever you want to do is ok too)
From the hills of Morgantown, WV, JOHN KOLAR is an indie artist with rock, pop, country, and jazz influences. John’s most recent release “Watching Reruns” is a guitar driven indie rock song inspired by “Back to the Future.” This is the 8th song of a ten-song album that is scheduled to release this November.
On his growing social media pages, John regularly posts music theory, audio engineering, and music performance content. John works as an audio engineering professor at Ball State University in Muncie, IN, where he teaches production, mixing, acoustics, electronics, and performance classes to undergraduate students in the School of Music. John’s teaching inspires his music, as mentoring his students to find their own musical voices helps him to find his own.
John enjoys growing vegetables in his garden and riding his bicycle without training wheels.
