John McEuen (born December 19, 1945) is an American folk musician and a founding member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. John McEuen was born in Oakland, California. In 1964, at age 18, he became interested in music after seeing a performance by the Dillards, and learned to play the banjo. Eventually, he took an interest in fiddle and mandolin. In 1986, after twenty years with the Dirt Band, McEuen departed to pursue a solo career. From 1991–1997, he released four albums for Vanguard Records. He composed music for movies and television and he appeared as a guest on albums with several artists including five albums with Michael Martin Murphey. He then returned to the Dirt Band in 2001. McEuen departed the band once again in late 2017. McEuen has known Steve Martin since high school, when he would give Martin occasional lessons on the banjo.
