John Thomas Griffith (born April 3) is an American Singer-songwriter from Louisiana. Best known as a guitarist and vocalist from the band Cowboy Mouth, in which he has been a member since 1990. John Thomas Griffith first established himself on the American music scene in the early 1980's as lead singer and guitarist for the Red Rockers, co-writing their 1983 MTV hit China.

After leaving the band, in 1987 he released his first solo cd, Son of an Engineer, re-released in 2000 on Laughing Gravy Music. Known by most music fans as 'JTG' or 'Griff', he is a founding member of the current rock band 'Cowboy Mouth'.

As a multi-instrumentalist, 'Aluminum' showcases his fun, yet quirky styles in both arrangements and showmanship.

In 1999, John Thomas Griffith was inducted into Buddy Magazine's Texas Guitar Hall of Fame, joining Billy Gibbons of ZZTop, Eric Johnson and others.

He currently is on tour with Cowboy Mouth. When not touring, he resides in Los Angeles and scores motion picture soundtracks.
