About
Adam Johnston, born April 20th, 1990, is a guitarist who’s sound is heavily influenced by iconic bands from the 60’s movement like Jimi Hendrix , The Who, Sly & the Family Stone, The Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd , and many more. His roots began in Blues, Rock, Funk, and Soul music, ripping his licks from guitar gods such as Stevie Ray Vaughn, Clapton, & Hendrix. He spent years ‘cutting his teeth’ covering songs by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Isley Brothers, The Meters, Jim Hendrix's Band of Gypsies, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and many more before forging his own distinct sound. His original music has evolved to embrace the sound of modern Funk, Disco, Jazz, Progressive Rock, and EDM. Its driven by heavy bass, pocket drums, gritty synths/organs, soulful vocals & soaring guitar riffs that deliver the full spectrum of sound. Pumping out infectious dance grooves mixed tastefully with ear-candy covers for an experience that unites both Musicians and Music Lovers alike.
