John Roderick is the lead singer and guitarist in the band The Long Winters. He was born in Seattle but grew up in Alaska. He started playing guitar in high school but never really bothered to get good until many years later when all his other options had dried up. John was also a touring member of the band Harvey Danger, and was a guest musician on the Death Cab for Cutie album Transatlanticism, the Nada Surf album The Weight is a Gift, and the Decemberists album Picaresque.
These are videos from concerts where John Roderick played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
