John Deering – “Strip Mall Jesus”

There’s something beautifully honest about John Deering’s latest track “Strip Mall Jesus” that hits you right in the feels from the very first listen. I’ve had this song on repeat for days now, and it just keeps getting better.

What really stands out is how Deering crafted this gem entirely in his basement studio. The DIY approach adds this raw authenticity that’s sadly missing from so much overproduced music these days. And get this – he recorded the vocals in his bathroom (dubbed the “Shudio” by his daughters), proving once again that true creativity doesn’t need fancy equipment or big-budget studios.

I absolutely love how this track manages to feel both nostalgic and completely fresh at the same time. After taking a break from songwriting, Deering has returned with something truly special here. For fans of heartfelt, authentic music that doesn’t hide behind studio tricks, “Strip Mall Jesus” is exactly what you’ve been waiting for. Trust me, you need this track in your life.
