Over the years John’s work for social justice and as an ardent opponent of the death penalty has seen him perform in a series of MERCy Concerts (Musicians Encouraging the Repeal of Capital punishment). He currently serves as the executive director of this organization, and that work has become the largest part of John’s multi activity work life. In 2017, Flynn founded New Beginnings – Next Step, Inc., a 501 C 3 non-profit dedicated to helping incarcerated and returning citizens successfully transition to freedom. After graduation John’s plans to attend law school were abandoned when Billy Swan’s recording of John’s song “Rainbows and Butterflies” went top-forty on the country charts and John took a staff songwriting position at Combine Music in Nashville. He put himself through Temple University playing folk and country rock covers in bar bands, slowly introducing his original songs into the mix. John abruptly changed course and began writing songs in earnest.
Long-time friend and Flynn champion, Kris Kristofferson, has called John “an important artist whose work in prisons, rehabs, and half-way houses is distilled into the truth and the beauty of heartfelt and heartwarming slices of life.” In 2007 Kris cited Flynn to TV Guide Magazine as one of his favorite country artists, saying, “He’s got a great heart, and I like the way he thinks.”
