Secondhand Serenade is a one man band from Menlo Park, California. John Vesely, 30, sings and plays guitar and piano. His music is characterized by multitrack recording so he can create the sound of a band by himself. He uses multitrack recording to create vocal harmonies, and a lead acoustic guitar over strummed chords.
After the breakup of Sounds Like Life, featuring himself and Ronnie Day, Vesely started writing and performing his songs solo under the name Secondhand Serenade.

C Writing here 'cause there's nothing left here Am For me to do, but please know that FCG I'm trying to make up for my mistakes C And you're moving on with guilty memories Am But I was wrong to ever test us FCG This broken road is more than I can take
