J.K. Loftin

I'm a lifelong musician/guitarist/recordist from Kinston, N.C. I've performed in The Creations (1966), The Atlantic Coast Show (1967-69), The Soulsations (1969-1970), Medusa (1970-71), Pegasus (1971-1976), Northstate (1976-78), Pegasus, later renamed Pegasus Plus (1978-81). Lahnn & Loftin (1982-89), Heart & Soul (1990-2003), The Craig Woolard Band (2004-08), & Mark Roberts & Breeze (2008-11), and Gary Lowder & Smokin' Hot (2013-present) I also own and am chief engineer/producer at Cape Fear Studio in Wilmington,N.C. I record and produce musical artists of all styles & genres, spoken word (talking books,audio for commercials and narration),edit, mix, master and transfer from media to media. I teach guitar lessons, first starting in 1971, do vocal coaching and provide consultation and troubleshooting for sound systems and personal/institutional (churches-schools,etc.) recording scenarios. I had 3 different projects I engineered and/or produced/played and sang on that were submitted to the Grammys by others in 2013. I love what I do. I have "filled-in" for groups whose guitarists could not perform, Steve Owens and Summertime, Atlantic Groove and the Johnny Barker Project and The Legends of Beach. I'm single and have two children in college, who light the fire that drives my life, and both of whom I am very proud.
