   About Johnny Hatch

Johnny Hatch is a creative musician from Regina, Canada whose songs are fun, melodic, rocking, pop tunes with a folk and New Wave influence. Currently the Hatchman is in the studio completing his new album ‘Happiness Instead’. He is working with producer and band-mate Dave Fries.

Tracks from the 2007 EP Hot Traxx!!! recieved college radio airplay in Saskatchewan, BC, Ontario and Quebec. The band sharpened their live show into an upbeat, entertaining set with theatrical nuances.

Grant Lawrence of CBC Radio 3 called Johnny Hatch an "infamous Prairie Rocker" and musical peers such as producer Adam H and the legendary THOR have named the Hatchman as one of Western Canada's most inventive songwriters. Hot Traxx!!! was produced by David J. Taylor (Ultimate Power Duo, Sylvie). Regional audiences are enjoying the live show and national touring is in the works.

A video is in production for the single Barrel of Monkeys with scenes shot in Los Angeles, Vancouver, Toronto and Regina.

The current core version of Johnny Hatch & The Lost Disciples formed 3 years ago bringing together skilled, imaginative players: drummer Pat Kelly (Mill St. Blues, Mercury Festival), bassist Matt Johnstone (Bandwagon Device, Mrs. Svenson) and J.H. on guitar and vocals. Chanteuse Lana Welchman (Generals & Majors) chimes in on harmony vocals and studio wiz Dave Fries (Ze Studio, the Buzz Trouts) contributes his guitar / vocal talents. The group has performed at such prestigious events as the Cathedral Arts Festival, Gravelbourg Summer Solstice and Flatland Music Festival. Pat & John played together in one of their first bands, before Pat was hired to play with Doug “Milledge” Deep for what turned into a 6-year tour.

Highlights of Johnny Hatch’s career during his years based in Vancouver and Regina include having songs in include having several songs in movies and TV shows, notably a track in the hit film 'Fubar' (alongside bands like Sum 41 and Sloan) and shooting a video for the song with Fubars Terry & Dean thats on the DVD. This adventure took place in the company of Canadian worldwide cult legend Jon THOR, with whom Hatch co-wrote and recorded 11 songs and rocked for 3 tours, including a tour with the Grammy winning Nashville Pussy. Hatch recently had his song ‘Let’s Go, Don’t Crash’ used in the Renegade Press TV show and CD.



Hatchman paid his dues in several bands in Vancouver and Regina, all the way back to one of his early bands, being co-founder of the original Waltons line up with Jason Plumb, as the more new wave/punk Neurotic Paperboy and opening for bands such as Soul Asylum. The Waltons covered one of Johns songs 'Hope I Get This Job' live in concert for several years.

Recent and upcoming highlights include songwriting and shooting videos in Los Angeles, Vancouver, Toronto & Regina, the Hot Traxx!!! CD release parties in Regina and area and networking at Canadian Music Week in Toronto.
