12:00 WONDERFUL JOHNSON (NAPLES, FL)
If you've ever waxed
nostalgic at the thought of indie rock that draws from a bullet-proof British invasion icon
fronting an early 80's Americana hybrid: say, a place where Ray Davies fronts Tom
Petty's Heartbreakers while John Mellencamp rides shotgun, then Wonderful Johnson
can take you there. We invite you to take a bite of this guitar-driven band's relentlessly
melodic new CD, Authentic Memphis Samich.
