 John Catalano is a native of Camp Hill Pa. John always knew that music was his passion He has fond memories of Louis Prima visiting his house and attending Church together as a boy. He performed with Bobby Troup in his teens at his family restaurant. This self taught guitarist went on to serious study on piano, trumpet and music theory. Much later John studied classical guitar with Stafford Hontz Koster and today focuses all of his musical attention on the nylon string guitar. Catalano enjoys a full schedule of teaching and performing in central PA. The Catalano Music performance program’s primary goal is to educate and encourage young artists.
