ABOUT ABOUT

Bringing back the nostalgic charisma of a bygone era, the prolific West Coast vocalist seamlessly blends swing, jazz, pop, country, gospel & rock for a sound that fans from Frank Sinatra to Johnny Cash will enjoy!  Featuring the renowned Get Hep Swing Dancers for a throwback-themed night of music & dance!

With more than 150,000 albums sold, a catalog of more than 60 original songs and 1,100 performances to date, Johnny has toured extensively around the world in many different types of venues, including intimate nightclubs, historic dance halls, large outdoor music festivals and world-renowned amphitheaters.
 
As the lead singer for Time Bomb Recordings/BMG major label recording artist Indigo Swing, Johnny also toured with renowned artists including Rosemary Clooney, Lionel Hampton, and the Brian Setzer Orchestra.

Johnny’s 2016 release Someday Dreams of You has received rave reviews from fans and critics. AXS.com described it as “a stunningly elegant album of sizzling delights. Johnny Boyd has not only reimagined the Great American Songbook only as Johnny Boyd can, but he has created great original songs that sit perfectly alongside the classics.”

NPR described Johnny’s style aptly – “If Frank Sinatra and Johnny Cash had a love child, it would be Johnny Boyd.”
 
Johnny is signed with Cliffdive Records and currently tours with his four-piece gentlemen band.
