Secondhand Serenade es un proyecto solitario compuesto por John Vesely, de Menlo Park, California, quién canta y toca la guitarra y el piano. Su música se compone de multipistas que, juntas, componen el sonido de una banda. El Nombre de la banda, Secondhand, se refiere a que su esposa, Candice, oye todas las canciones "de primera mano". Siendo así, para los oyentes de su música es la Serenata de Segunda mano (Secondhand Serenade).
En 2004, Vesely salió del grupo de rock alternativo Sounds Like Life
