Bio
.. .. ........ Though the Johnny Starlings no longer perform or record as such, frontman Jody Mulgrew continues to write, record and perform as a solo artist. Visit JODYMULGREW.COM for the latest..... -----------------------------------.. "Jody Mulgrew writes gentle, swaying, heart-on-your-sleeve love songs full of charm, character, and utterly devoid of guile. His is a delightful fusing of the 20s-era crooner with the ernest cheerful good humor of the coffeehouse folkie. A contagion of smile-mania erupts whenever he takes the stage... He is flatout the best young singer songwriter in town at the moment." --Richard Rice, SF Folk Music Club/SF Hootenanny (San Francisco, CA) .... Jody was raised in (and currently resides in) a tiny town about 100 miles up the California coast from Santa Barbara. After studying Vocal Jazz and Classical Voice and touring the U.S. and Europe with award-winning vocal ensembles, he formed old-time-americana outfit The Johnny Starlings with friend and collaborator Yohei Shikano. .... The group released "Aiming Too High" (2006) and "Be My Baby Bright" (2007), and Jody has since heard his songs performed on "A Prairie Home Companion" (by the talented Miss Inga Swearingen) and enjoyed the warm reception of his music in music halls, on make-shift stages in sunny fields, and in dark, cozy rooms up and down the Coast of California. He performed more than a hundred dates in 2008 and is currently preparing an album of new solo material, with the help of his friends and band-mates, to be released later in 2009. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..The Johnny Starlings were a true highlight of the Live Oak Music Festival. Jody Mulgrew's sweet and magnetic voice, supported by such able musicians, captured our audience -- evoking smiles, tears, and a long line at the CD booth." -- Marisa Waddell, Entertainment Coordinator, Live Oak Music Festival (Santa Barbara, CA). ..
