John P. Strohm played in a number of indie-pop projects during the 80's and 90's, from his roots in playing drums in an Bloomington, Indiana punk band to guitarist in Boston's legendary Blake Babies. After their demise, Strohm went on to play guitar in a number of acts, including his own Antenna, Velo Deluxe, Hello Strangers and even back up for Polara and The Lemonheads while on the road. After being behind the scenes for this long of a time, Strohm's released his first solo album in1996 entitled "Caledonia" that went along the same lines as his previous gigs. "Vestavia" came out three years later tributing to the small Alabama city in which he made his home. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
