'''John Statz''' is a [[folk song|folksinger/singer-songwriter]], currently{{When|date=February 2011}} residing in [[Denver, Colorado]], though he is originally from [[Wisconsin]].

In 2007 he won the MAMA ([[Madison Area Music Awards]]) award for "Folk/Americana Album of the Year" for his 2006 album, ''Dusk Came Slow''.  He has toured all over the United States, Canada, and Europe (France, Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, and Iatly).  John has opened for and shared the stage with performers such as [[Ben Kweller]], [[Jeffrey Foucault]], [[Ari Hest]], The Wood Brothers, and has played the [[Wakarusa Festival]] in [[Lawrence, Kansas]].

In August 2009, John Statz and singer/songwriter Jeremiah Nelson were stopped at the border of Canada<ref>http://nothingthattheroad.blogspot.com/2009/08/august-tour-chicago-michigan-and-border.html</ref>, attempting to enter the country on a tour, for not having the proper legal paperwork (work visa).  They were denied entry, but managed to get in the next day after obtaining a work visa application from the Quebec Folk Festival, which they were scheduled to play.  The legal status of that tour, including dates in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Quebec City, was questionable, but succeeded nonetheless.
