About the 360s



Come Full Circle — with “The 360s”!
The 360s came about during 2020, stimulated by our reaction to the pandemic, by our need to keep the music flowing, by our desire to create a safe place for gathering and socializing, and by our intention to radiate harmony during a time of discord.

Four experienced musicians, each with strong vocal and harmony skills, gravitated towards each other to perform high quality vintage music from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s.

The 360s include: John Shinn on 12-string guitar with a vast repertoire, Dwight Stone subtly finger-picking his 6-string or tickling the ivories, Christopher Johnson, steeped in jazz and original composition with amazing guitar solos, and Duane Campbell, professional bassist forming the foundation. We converged to create moving, authentic three- and four-part vocal harmonies with matching accompaniment.
This is an acoustic-electric band with a soothing, irresistible sound you can immerse yourself in. You won’t want to miss spending a fabulous evening with this band. Enjoy their cordial energy, fabulous blend, and great tunes. Join them to relax, to sing along, or to stand up and dance.


Come Full Circle with us! — The 360s.
