Freedy Johnston

Hello there Friend

My new album, Rain on the City, will be out on January 12th on BarNone Records.  Been a long time, been a long time, been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time…  as the Zep put it.  But now we move on.  This record was produced by Richard McLaurin at Nashville’s House of David studio. Three tracks are uploaded to the MySpace page for your listening pleasure.

I’m back at the IOTA in Arlington on Dec. 20.  One of my favorite clubs on the route.  Stephen’s holiday party the night before may still be going on by set time.  If I’m wearing a Santa’s elf hat that will be why.

But, Christmas Night itself will be celebrated at the Blue Lounge in Wichita.  With band (Wayne Gottstine, Steve Hatfield, Ron Smith).  What else are you going to do on this night, sit around and make small talk with the relatives?  Please.  614 W. Douglas is my suggestion.  Next night, we take the show to the Bottleneck in Lawrence.  Come to both shows and you’ll have guaranteed* good luck in ‘10.

all the best,

Freedy
