Description

As the sun sets behind the aging, crooked grin of the Detroit skyline, a poet contemplates the coming stars from a bench on the other shore. In the distance, he can hear a cover band sing "I'm crossing you in style someday..." and the poet knows it's true.

Johnny Broadway's songs speak of love and beauty, struggling against an age with far too little of both. Taking to stages from Michigan to Manitoba in various forms over the past decade, Johnny Broadway has quickly emerged as an original and charismatic songwriter and performer.

Johnny has been compared to such varied artists as Bob Dylan meets Leonard Cohen, Paul McCartney meets Andy Kaufman, a young Robert Smith (The Cure), and the infamous Danny Michel. The initial catalyst for Johnny was growing up next to the birthplace of Motown, and a second catalyst came in the form of a journey which brought him to his new home in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1999. This combination of urban and prairie living forms the basis of Johnny's words and music.

Johnny's debut album "Discoverers", released in the fall of 2006, is a collection of eight simple love songs that flirt with the themes of travel, leaving, and finding home. Innocent and even delicate, yet undeniably relevant, "Discoverers" is an ode to the things that matter most.

The heart is truly laid bare in this unforgettable debut album, which takes us on a quest for hope in love, in life, and in loss. With no pretenses remaining, all that stands here is a beautiful portrayal of one man's discovery of truth and meaning in everyday existence: "Maybe it's just that we are together, baby, which propels us towards forever."

"Johnny Broadway has a compelling, unique stage presence. Whether he's regaling the crowd with his quirky stories or grabbing their attention with his expressive songwriting, Johnny is impossible to dislike and impossible to ignore."
-- Stephen Johns
