About John Lombardo
John Lombardo is one of the founding members of the American alternative rock band 10,000 Maniacs and one of the band's most influential members, writing much of its early material, also being its oldest member in age. He is also a member of folk rock duo John & Mary. Lombardo would also work with the band in 1990 to remaster Hope Chest, a compilation of their first two albums, released in 1990. Lombardo remained on cordial terms with his former band, with two Maniacs (Rob Buck and Jerry Augustyniak) appearing as guest performers on their albums, and John and Mary opened for the 10,000 Maniacs on tour. The pair made two recordings under the name John & Mary, Victory Gardens in 1991 and 1993's The Weedkiller's Daughter.
