Sounds Like
John Cougar, Phil Vasser, and Pat Green meets Edwin McCain...
Johnny spends a lot of time thinking about what he can say in a song
that will touch someones life beyond measure. Its important to him not to
just write great songs, but to impact everyone who hears them. Playing
since he was 3 years old, hes not just a musician, hes a composer. He hears,
in his heart & mind, all the instruments joining together to make a song
complete, with the ability to play most or all of what he hears.
After coming out of the 80s & 90s music era, his songs have reached a
level of maturity that have touched people from all walks of life. From
young kids, to folks that are 40 years his senior, his music has found a
home in the hearts of many.
Johnnys voice is an important part of the delivery of each song. The
passion in his performance is astounding. The likes of Bob Segar & Joss
Stone mixed with a little John Cougar & Edwin McCain make up a voice to
be reckoned with.
This guy has got some pipes some have said. Edwin McCain even told
Johnnys friend & mentor Dick Hodgin, That guy can sing man. So its
no surprise when Johnny plays his acoustic in front of an audience that
people stop and take notice. The only surprise is that he doesnt have a
major label backing him yet.
With dreams in one hand & a guitar in the other, Johnnys planning
on the next few years, as an artist, to be his best.
Discover the treasure that God put in the heart of a willing vessel.
Songs for the broken Johnny says.
Thats what he and his music are all about.
