That guy is John Pointer and aside from his nationally televised commercials for Chili's Baby Back Ribs and Schlotzsky's Deli/ Austin City Limits, he has been active in the Austin, Texas Music Scene since moving there in 1991. A multi-instrumentalist with degrees in Music and Italian (UT Austin, Phi Beta Kappa 1997), he has produced, performed, and recorded with numerous bands and artists including Ozomatli, BoomBoxATX, Schrödinger's Cat, Woodwork, Trio Los Vigilantes, and Sixpence None the Richer.

His first language was music, and he speaks it fluently. His parents say he sang lullabies with them before he could talk, mimicking the melodies before he could form words. He started piano lessons at the age of five, cello at six, and percussion at nine. He taught himself guitar at eleven, and bass at fourteen. By the time he graduated from high school he had honed his studio skills, performed in Europe, played with numerous local bands, and was the musical director of a doo-wop quartet. He was accepted to the University of Texas at Austin, and moved there to continue his education.

He currently performs 4 to 6 nights per week, works actively with the Austin Music Foundation and in the community, and continues to develop his shows as a solo artist, with BoomBox, Schrödinger's Cat, and his future project Brainwreck (version 3).
