Bio
Johnny Bronco plays original country/metal/swing. He is as unusual as this sounds. Musical influences include Creedance Clearwater Revival, Woody Guthrie, and Queen. A melodic depth and structured harmonies form a backdrop for lyrics which express a quality of longing, desperation,and pain as well as love and joy. Since 1990 he has toured extensively in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and Tennessee playing club dates for both acoustic and full-band sets.
As a member of the now-defunct band Surgin, Johnny had an EMI release which began charting in the UK as an import. Typical record company hassles with promotion and distribution brought an end to this promising start. Similarly, a stint with Foreigner's management company did not work out.
Johnny's career began to change when he was spotted hitchhiking on the Jersey Turnpike by V.J. Adam Curry. Knowing a good thing when he saw it, Adam picked him up, which led to Johnny's guest spot - billed as "Johnny Bronco Day"- on MTV.
That was then and this is now, a new sound from a new band. Recorded over the past year... the debut CD from Johnny Bronco is called "Blind Ambition". This is a (9) song CD. Mixed by Danny Iannuzzelli (The Rosenburgs).
