John started his musical career in the 60's playing a wide variety of music at a young age with good friend and guitarist extraordinaire, Tom Kozic. He got into country music very early when he first heard Chet Atkins. ($1.99 album at Woolworth's!) John made the switch from guitar to bass in the early 70's when he was hired by button box accordionist Joe Wolfer. (bought first bass (Sekova) at a pawn shop in Allentown for $40) Mr. Kacmarcik has played with many area bands over the years and still plays with comrade Joe Wolfer from time to time. After leaving the Partytime/Kool Beanz era in 2000, John thought he'd test the waters in the freelance department of the business and enjoyed playing with different bands until he was the first round draft pick and signed a 6 year deal with the Cramer Brothers Band in 2001 which ended on 28-Aug-2006. John recently worked with THE NEW GROOVE featuring Emmit Harris. Presently, John is doing what he said he'd never do again! He formed a new trio with Ed Novogratz & Davey Addison called DejaVu playing clubs like Krista's at the Best Western Hotel & Stefano's!
