Johnnys BIO:

Johnny has recently co-produced and engineered top ten country hit, ‘Sister Golden Hair’ for ‘The Poverty Plainsmen’ (May 2005) and also helped land a 5 album deal with National Distribution for Saskatchewan based band, ‘Into Eternity’ with Los Angeles record company, ‘ Century Media’. Johnny was instrumental in recording the demo as co-producer and engineer, and was hired to finish the albums as well.

Johnny Six Pack! Sweet. I know Johnny and Grant from Touchwood here in Regina. Very cool cats. I will have to call Johnny and give him congrats. He did the engineering for an old tweaked-out instrumental band of mine, and laid down some lap steel on one of the tracks. He is a cool cat and deserves it. thumbsup Hey T R S, you from Regina?
