John Thomas Griffith (born April 3, 1960) is an American singer-songwriter best known as a guitarist and vocalist for the band Cowboy Mouth. John Thomas Griffith first established himself on the American music scene in the early 1980s as lead singer and guitarist for the Red Rockers, co-writing their 1983 MTV hit "China".〔Koster, Rick (2002); ''Louisiana Music''; Da Capo Press, MA; ISBN 0-306-81003-4. See (p.244 ).〕 Griffith was born in Lubbock, Texas, and raised in Houston, but it was in Louisiana, while attending LSU in Baton Rouge, that he began his professional musical career.〔Koster, Rick (2000); ''Texas Music''; St. Martin's Press, NY; ISBN 0-312-25425-3.

Griffith released his first solo CD, ''Son of an Engineer'', in 2000 on Laughing Gravy Music.
