Addiction & Recovery Conversations with Brett Lovins
John Shipe, Professional Musician Based in Eugene, Oregon
John Shipe is a talented singer songwriter based in Eugene, OR. We knew each other years ago in band circles in the early 1990s. I found out through a mutual musician friend that John is also sober and he was willing to have a conversation. To hear more music and find out where to catch John live, visit John Shipe Music
