Hello Friends,

Unfortunately the New EP is not yet available online – i.e. download or to purchase a hard copy. There have been some hiccups regarding the artwork, track order, radio edits..etc! Before all of these issues came about I did order 100 copies (got about 20 left), however, now the first 100 is gonna be a rare collectible (unless you can manage to get a copy of the 20 or so I have left) cause I will be ordering redesigned versions. I’ll hold onto the few remaining copies (from the first 100 pressings) for the show this Thursday Sept. 2nd at Kennedy Plaza (Burnside Park). Remember it’s free, open to the public, and we play 2 sets from 5-7pm. Hope to see you!

Johnny

ps. No this is not a marketing ploy to make you want one of my cd’s. But maybe it could be, or should be? Honestly, I only have 20 copies left of the first 100 pressings. Not sure where they all went…Time flies when you …I mean, CD’s fly when you…ummm idk.

here is a pic of the cover that is messed up:

Hi All, this is kind of a test to see how I do in the google blog buzz. You can buy my new album at cdbaby.com

So we had a kicking ass show last night at McFadden’s in downtown Providence. There was a little bit of Billy Joel, Elton John, John Denver…….and Lady Gaga! lol. It was good times.
The best part was the jamming though. We created like 5 songs! and wrote new parts for other songs. The set was KahBangin’. Alright folks…next McFadden’s show is Tuesday Sept. 28th. Remember no cover!! Somewhere To Go – new EP – on I-Tunes

“Maine, the way life should be.”

So we just went up to Bangor Maine to be part of the KahBang Music festival.

We arrived to the city around 5:30 and went directly to our venue, the Sea Dog Brewery. It’s a pretty big restaurant/brewery and stay’s busy. I got excited thinking that we wouldn’t be playing to a room full of nobody and before you knew it we were carrying our instruments through a packed room.

The clock struck 10:30pm, and the set began. 1st song good, 2nd song good, 3rd song good, 4th song = not so good.

We were playing the song “Coward” (on the new EP). It turned out to be the most appropriate song for the moment. There were 4 guys standing by the side and one of them proceeded to heckle us by fake dancing. My hands began to sweat. AFter the first verse (as if Chase and I were telepathic), we stopped playing on the downbeat. I asked him, “Are you done?”. Thankfully they stopped and walked away but came back later for another minute to fake dance. It was difficult not to throw my glass of beer in his face. I can’t imagine what Chase was thinking, but after the show he waved his drum hardware in the air shouting “You want to dance! You want to dance! Let’s dance!!!” Luckily, the loser dudes were no where to be found and the night ended without instance. Not the best venue for our music, but we had a great experience and did make new fans regardless of a few mean people.

THE ICING ON THE CAKE

A day before the show I received 100 copies of my new EP, “Somewhere To Go”. I was excited and decided to bring the whole box to Maine. Unfortunately, I spaced after the gig and left them at the venue!

Beam me down Scotty!

Random occurrence – About 20 minutes into our 5 hour return trip home we drove past my neighbor on the highway!

PICS!

Hi All,

So this is my website! I plan on using it more.

What’s new?? Chase and I are heading up to Bangor Maine this weekend to perform at the Sea Dog Brewery on Friday Aug. 13th!

It’s gonna be a long 5 hr drive. Should be a fun time, as we generally have a good time together.

More shows on the way, in the meantime – back to practicing George Gershwin! I’ve been studying Rhapsody in Blue since X-Mas!

Oh yea – new EP comes out next WEEK!!  Real piano – finally

jamming out at Waterplace Park - Providence, RI

peace out! Johnny

Check out this funny studio clip!

Alright Yes! Johnny Lingo Studio Preview #2

In the studio

So i was thinking about the lyrics on the new 5 Song EP that Chase and I are making and realized that there are no swear words for the first time!

I’ve made 3 albums with The Lingo and then made Shake It Off.

1st album:  The Lingo’s Blueprint –  One of my songs was called  ”Don’t F..k it up”

2nd album: The Lingo’s Pleasure Beach – in my song called “Now you Know” I say, “Pay up you F..k”

3rd album: The Lingo’s Reality T.V. – in my song called “So Sorry” i say – “why don’t we stay up and F..K all night!”

4th album: my solo one SHake It Off – I swear using the F Word in two songs – the first is in “Mister Can you See Me” when I say “They really don’t give a F..k”.  Then on the song “Justice” I say “there are so many things F..ked up about AMerica!”

In Conclusion, the 5 songs on the new EP have no mention of the F Word in any of the lyrics or any swears I’m aware of for that matter!  I guess this means I’ve really grown up!  haha.  ANyway, that’s todays “F Word”

Well,  we are not really touring as of yet, but i just felt like starting a diary.

Two weeks ago we finished our first big trip together driving down to Mount Saint Mary’s Universiy near Gettysburg, Maryland.   Actually, the University is 10 minutes away from Camp David and the students get their cellphones monitored regulary…

The day of the show we didn’t leave until 12:30 pm and it was quite the white knuckle ride considering we had to be on stage by 9pm!  For those of you who have never driven down there from Providence….it’s a solid 7 hour drive – without traffic!

Anyway we made it in time to have a quick meal and get to the venue by 8:30pm (cutting it too close.)  Luckily 5 students were eagerly waiting our arrival and immediately carried all of our equipment out of my car!  We didn’t have to lift a finger.  Thank you

The venue was in one of the oldest buildings on campus, a renovated church I think, and the acoustics were phenomenal.  I felt like we were being blessed by the old spirits inside and the show flew by.  Before we knew it, we had already played for an hour and a half straight through.  Everybody in the audience stayed for the entire show and we kept on hearing people shout “More!” after each song.  At first I thought they were asking us to play my new song which is titled “More”, but silly me finally got that they just wanted us to keep on playing!

AFter playing the show, the students stuck around for CD’s and Q&A, then of course graciously helped us load out to get some shut eye.

When we arrived at our hotel it was way better than expected.  The normal hotel that the University provides for their entertainment entourages was full, so we got a guest suite at the infamous Wyndam hotel!  The place has a special vibe to it, with stars on the rugs, and portraits of past presidents on every wall.  Really cool I must say.  The beds were amazingly comfortable as I pretty much immediately went to bed and Chase stayed up late to explore the hotel.

The next morning after a restful night’s rest and starting our day off watching “I Am Legend,” we packed up and sped03 Drive back home.  Unfortunately there was no time for sight seeing on this trip.  A place of interest was the “Crystal Cave

long day on the road!

s” but maybe next time.  there’s always next time right?

tour diary #1

ps. hopefully I can keep this up at least every couple weeks..

good night, Johnny
