John Borra

About

The artist

John Borra is an independent singer-songwriter, guitarist, and bassist based in Toronto, Ontario. His artist-operated website describes more than forty years in the city's alternative music community, beginning with punk and new-wave groups before developing a solo language that combines alternative country, folk, roots rock, and Americana. Borra played bass in A Neon Rome, Change of Heart, Groovy Religion, and other Toronto projects, then recorded under his own name and with the John Borra Band and Rattlesnake Choir. He has also supported artists including Ron Sexsmith and Serena Ryder. His exact Spotify identity contains eight primary album and single containers from January 2020 through October 2025. The provider catalogue includes four albums and four singles. Blue Wine returned Borra to solo recording in 2020, followed by The Wars '21 and the paired 2022 releases John Borra and Cassettes in Common. Cassettes in Common interprets songs by Toronto writers and friends including Bob Snider, Art Bergmann, Kyp Harness, and Ron Sexsmith. Last Dance at The E Room arrived in October 2025 as a ten-song tribute to late producer Peter J. Moore and the E Room studio. Current press and the official site document a 2025 release show at the Horseshoe Tavern and touring in Ontario and British Columbia. Borra remains active in 2026 through recurring performances at the Communist's Daughter and the Cameron House, alongside other Ontario and Canadian dates. His official site repeatedly identifies Toronto as his present base, publishes current local residencies, and links the exact Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook identities. It also provides a dedicated professional contact page, allowing MusicList to route inquiries without republishing direct email addresses. No private address is retained. Spotify media is displayed live with provider attribution and a monogram fallback.
