Biography

He grew up in the dark valley of Schlattstall ( Swamp Valley ) where he spent his young days in the deep forrest with a pack of foxes and a guitar. At home and in school he always heard one sentence: „You're nuthin' but TROUBLE, Johnny!“ That stuck with him and led to the name „Johnny Trouble“ The trouble and the darkness are the main part of Johnnys lyrics. The listener finds themselves in a kind of bad-luck-situation, with wild rides on iron horses, getting locked up in prison or facing the deadly force of a tornado, just to name a few of them. If you had to put him into a musical category, „Americana“ would be the most obvious. Country, Spaghetti Western, Rockabilly, Folk, and Blues are his musical background, and he's pretty keen in mixing these genres together into his own unique sound. Songs like „Tornado Warning“, „Big Black Train“ and „Small Town Blues“ caused him to leave his dark forrest and brought him to stages in the USA, Russia, Finland, Africa and almost everywhere in between. The rest is history.
