John Wines, a guitar teacher from Dorset, has made waves on America’s Got Talent and secured a spot in the highly anticipated live shows. In a bid to inspire one of his nervous students, the 59-year-old teacher at The Bourne Academy in Bournemouth decided to audition for the popular talent show.
“I’m absolutely overjoyed! I never thought I would have this incredible opportunity,” beamed Wines. “I’m doing things now that I could never have even dreamed of before.”

Despite nearly missing his audition invitation, which had accidentally landed in his email’s junk folder, Wines fortunately found it just in the nick of time. Now, he is ready to give it his all in the live shows and make his mark on the world stage.
