Posted By: Martha Blake October 27, 2023 New Music, Premieres
Today at Music Crowns we premiere the rising country-rock artist John Trescott Luis, on his brand new single ‘Can’t Stay Here’ out today.
‘Can’t Stay Here’ takes you into the heart of a bar, where people from different walks of life cross paths and where new connections are forged. It’s a song that speaks to those moments of exhilaration when you lock eyes with a stranger, sparking a sense of intrigue and possibility. With its memorable melodies and sing-along chorus lines, the track is a testament to John’s ability to create music that resonates deeply with audiences.
After a prolific 40-year career in television at the ABC TV Network, John decided to embark on a new journey—one filled with melodies, rhythms, and heartfelt lyrics. In just three years, his evolution from the world of television to the world of music has been nothing short of remarkable.
John’s inspiration for ‘Can’t Stay Here’ is rooted in the shared experiences we’ve all had while frequenting bars. He eloquently captures the essence of these gatherings where everyone is sizing each other up, and where taking a chance on meeting someone new requires a dash of courage.

There’s No Misunderstanding John Trescott Luis’s Country Rock Single “MisUnderstandings”
Stephen Vicino November 15, 2022 New Media, News
Country Rock singer/songwriter John Trescott Luis rebuilt his studio to conquer the
music world in 2019 after a successful career in Television with ABC. He restarted his
song writing passion first with Progressive Rock, then Singer/Songwriter, then Ballads,
then Blues/Torch songs and now the Country/Americana style with a great band from
Nashville. “Writing, Producing and recording all of the parts yourself can be really fun
but not nearly as exciting as bringing in friends and world class musicians! In the end
you use the best person for each part of the song, and sometimes that’s with someone
else!”
His most recent single, “MisUnderstandings” is a Country Rock song that sounds like a
mix of Tom Petty and Waylon Jennings. His voice has a Jackson Browne style with its
sultry and soulful presentation.
During his first trip to Nashville to record some of his songs with the band, he was
understandably nervous to be in Nashville and privately hoped the musicians wouldn’t
“laugh at this California guy’s songs.” They jumped in with “Stuck,” (the first song that he
was to sing) and seeing how the band nailed it, they jammed ahead with the rest of the
sessions feeling like a breeze. The nervousness was unfounded!
Back at his hotel room that night, he pulled out his guitar and started “messing with a
few chords” and immediately came up with the opening chords for what would soon be
“MisUnderstandings.” “I’ve learned that I come up with my most original ideas when I
just start playing without thinking, then grab a hold of the first ideas,” shares John.
After working on it, he builds the story of a guy and a girl up in a hotel room arguing
about nothing and everything but realizing they are just MisUnderstandings. She’s Miss
Understanding and he’s Mr. Understood.
So far every song from John Trescott Luis has been completely different from the one
before in style and genre and yet all have been a powerhouse of musicianship and
songwriting. Not an easy thing to do in such a short time!
We are excited to see where John’s journey goes and can’t wait to hear what comes
next!
