The solo debut from singer/songwriter and former Indigo Swing frontman
Johnny Boyd is available online and in stores now!
Boyd is Back! After more than a year in the shadows, charismatic singer/songwriter and former Indigo Swing frontman Johnny Boyd returns with Last Word In, a new solo release on Cliffdive Records.
The inimitable Boyd, whose boyish visage recalls classic Hollywood, founded the critically acclaimed San Francisco band Indigo Swing in 1993, wrote the majority of the band’s original material, and inspired a new generation of music lovers in the recent retro swing movement.
Born in San Francisco and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, Boyd began singing at age 10 with the Phoenix Boys Choir, and continued to perform with various high school and college music projects before returning to San Francisco to form Indigo Swing. After years of relentless touring throughout the U.S. and Europe, Boyd left his band last year to rest and pursue a solo music career. With over 100,000 Indigo Swing albums sold, 1,100 live performances to his credit, and thousands of devoted fans worldwide, Boyd's new release marks his sentimental return to popular music ...
This singer/song-writer and former front man for Indigo Swing has just released his first solo album. Real Audio samples, a biography, album reviews, and a newsletter subscription form are provided.
Winnie says: ‘In 1992 Ritch and me started Blue Moon Special with Huub Urlings on double bass with the concept we still have today: Rock 'n' Roll with two saxophones, tenor and baritone. To name a few horns we had in the band: Onno van Swighem and Erwin van der Does, Paul Berding and Floor Massee, Sebastian Ohm, Wouter Kiers and Ruud de Vries. For the last couple of years we have on baritone Erwin van der Does and Quinten Kray on tenor, and hopefully for years to come! Hans van der Velde is a steady factor on double bass since 1997.
We are inspired by Big Band- and combo Swing, Rhythm & Blues, Eddie Cochran, Django Reinhardt, Gene Krupa, Big Jay McNeely, Johnny Otis, Benny Goodman and more.
We are vintage freaks in our own way and old enough to be called experts. I mean the stuff we play and the stuff we play on. And all for one reason, play our brand of Rock 'n' Roll.
