Dead Dad Show

Overview

Hi,

My name is John Giltner (rockstar name John Killer, folx artist name Sean Miller, pronouns they/them) and normally I’d describe this show here and also blow your all’s minds by the fact that I do beer AND weed at the same time. But that is NOT me anymore. I am now stone cold sober and only do weed.

Recently, a lot of bad stuff has happened to me recently that has devastated me into a really bad place. For starters, I caught my ex necking with Evan Deetering by the abandoned Septa cart in the Wissahickon, which is particularly devastating because that used to be our spot.

And secondly, I lost my dad to a fierce battle with cancer.

After losing my girlfriend and the break up with my father, my art has entered a new intense, dark and slutty phase I am calling my, “heavy shit era.”

My art is now about heavy shit only and I will be premiering the heaviest show you ever did see. It deals with death, loss, grief, losing someone like my dad, and Kentucky.

It would mean the world to me to anyone who came. I think it will be really good!!
