English guitarist, born 3 July 1949, Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, UK.
John Verity (born 3 July 1949) is an English guitarist and singer.
He is best known as a member of Argent, a band formed by Zombies keyboardist Rod Argent.
He joined the band alongside John Grimaldi, replacing Russ Ballard.
Verity was a member of the band Argent from 1974 to 1976. When the band dissolved, he formed a new band, Phoenix, with Bob Henrit and Jim Rodford. The band recorded three albums with CBS Records and toured Europe before disbanding. Rodford joined the Kinks, Verity and Henrit joined Charlie, to record an album with RCA Records. Verity produced the Phoenix albums and Charlie album as well as the first Saxon album.
During the early 1980s Verity worked with Brian Connolly (former vocalist with Sweet) in an attempt to launch him as a solo artist. A single, "Hypnotised" was released on Carrere Records in 1982 produced by Verity, and written by Joe Lynn Turner. Verity was part of Connolly's backing band Encore when they supported Pat Benatar at the beginning of 1983. The line up of this band was formed from members of Verity's own band, which went on to release several albums including Interrupted Journey.
Verity continues to perform throughout the UK and overseas with the John Verity Band. He occasionally has solo outings where he will work with experienced musicians in the destination country. He additionally performs acoustic gigs as a duo with either Max Milligan or Mark Griffiths, as well as with the band. The usual line-up features Liam James Gray on drums with either Bob Skeat or Roger Iniss on bass.
In February 2020, John Verity released his 21st studio album, Passion.

'Passion' is JV's 21st album
Passion doesn’t just mark the fiftieth recording and performing year of John Verity as a solo artist (along with a notable stint in Argent before founding Phoenix, followed by a time with Charlie). It’s also a collective celebration of some of the musician’s biggest influences or, in John’s own words, “a summary of my influences but with a careful eye on not making the approach too diverse; there’s a cohesive feel across the whole album.” That diverse yet cohesive statement is reinforced by the musical quality and width of Passion. This Album documents fifty years of musical travels across eight wonderful tracks from a man who most certainly still has the Passion. Ross Muir
‘Passion’ is a great update for fans, re-stating his credentials as one of rock’s real national treasures. David Randall
