Johnny A

Artist's Website

Here for his first visit to etown is guitar wizard Johnny A. On his latest Favored Nations disc, “Get Inside”, he once again lets the guitar lead the way on a dozen instrumentals that span a gulf of style from cool a go-go to pure rock & roll. This is music for an open mind aching for the open road. It’s Johnny A.’s willingness to let the instrument roam that sets him apart and outside of safe harbor. “. . . (He) demands to be heard . . . his guitar creates dense musical shading, conveying nostalgia, regret, hope and intrigue . . . ” — Jazz Times
