 Canadian country music sensation, Brad Johner, continues on a
roll with the release of his sophomore solo album, Summertown Road, the
follow-up to his very successful and Juno-nominated solo debut Free. It is
already showing signs of being another huge success spawning two Top 10 songs
and videos and is loaded with more surefire future hits.
It's been a very busy year for Johner besides completing his album. Several high
profile performances this year, including the Queen's Gala and Canada Summer
Games, and an unremitting touring schedule from Victoria to Quebec City, has
kept Johner on the forefront of the Canadian Country music scene, a position he
carved out over a thriving decade-long career in Canada.
A successful run with brother Ken, as The Johner Brothers, led to four hit
albums before Brad turning solo in 2003. The industry has responded positively
to the move, recognizing Brad with a 2003 Western Canadian Music Award for
"Outstanding Country Album", 2003 CCMA nominations for "Album of the Year" and "SOCAN
Song of the Year", and a win at the 2004 Canadian Independent Music Awards for "Favourite
Country Artist/Group". He was also recognized with Juno and CCMA nominations in
2004
No surprise! Brad has always preached: "Take care of the music, and the music
will take care of you."
For Brad it all starts with the song and its imperative that he puts his heart,
soul and voice into songs both he and his audience can relate to.
On the live front, Brad is a veteran of the stage. His polished performance and
exceptional band culminate into a truly entertaining and memorable show.
Brad knows his audience and can adapt his show for any venue or crowd, enabling
him to reach a wide and diverse audience, and leave them enthusiastically
satisfied. When out on stage, with his band and his fans, he feels that hes in
the presence of friends.
