JOHNNY SHILO

Hello to all you wonderful music lovers around the world and are following my music journey. I'm so humbled by the way the subscribers list continues to grow. I'm sending you all a huge shout out thank you.
Well the gig bookings are startling to come in for me this year and its so great to be able to sing live again making new friends and reconnecting with old ones.
Australian entertainment is back to about 85%, I attended a Country music festival last Saturday with 5,000 others and was covid safe of course. It was so great to see everyone enjoying themselves again.
My not so good news is my backing band folded. First the drummer left then the bass Guitarist broke his leg and then while we were rehearsing with the fill in drummer the lead guitarist was bitten on his hand by a dog and had to have an operation and won't be able to play for a very long time . It seems it wasn't meant to be so I'm going solo. I'm being booked as special Guest artist at the Country Music Clubs which I enjoy.
The very good news is Marion my music collaborater and I finally got to attend a 4 day song writers retreat as it was postponed 3 times due to Covid. Anyway we have had 3 of our songs edited and one new song we had the great privilege of co writing with a multi award winning Golden Guitarist which is the biggest award in Australian Country music in Australia. We are planning on releasing the new song as a single later this year. We will be working on writing more songs for an album we will hopefully release this time next year. So lots of work and good times ahead with writing rehearsing studio & recording.
So till next time stay safe be happy dont worry
Cheers Johnny

Hi there to all my new and not so new loyal link this update finds you well. Thank you one and all for your amazing support, I am so grateful
Marion and I had a meeting last week at a studio close by for recording.
Of late I have been spending my time working on new material colaborating with Marion Shilo my very best friend. Marion writing the lyrics and myself creating the melody and learning to sing the songs. We are also booked in to a songwriters retreat for 3 days in April 2021 so will be co writing more material there. If all goes to plan we will have a new album out by the end of 2021. It all takes time to bring it all together.
The unfortunite news is my drummer left my backing band but fortunatly I have found a fill in link first gig is on 28th Febuary 2021. The first gig since 7th March 2020 ( because of Covid19) Im so looking forward to playing to a live crowd again.
