"Singer-songwriters are ubiquitous these days, but few are making music anywhere as elegant and sonically eloquent as Johnny Stanec. Definitely an artist that you need to follow with keen interest."

Musically combining elements of Americana and the sounds of Britpop; Johnny Stanec is a singer-songwriter from Youngstown, OH. His songs about life, death, alienation and hope have reached an ever growing audience of listeners. Noted for his use of layered production and thoughtful lyrics, he has released an expansive catalog of music over the years. His music has been described as Tom Petty-meets-Oasis and filtered through the lense of driving, heartland folk-rock.
His latest full-length album, 'A LINEAR HISTORY', received enthusiastic reviews. Music Connection Magazine called it "a vulnerable collection from a rising folk figure" and noted the album contains "plenty of standouts" - and that songs like 'Shine On' and 'In the Dark, In the Clouds, In the Rain' were "stunning", saying "Americana fans should take note".
With over 700 live shows throughout the US and Canada (and counting), he has connected with listeners through passionate, intimate performances of acoustic renditions of his songs. His back catalog of music is streaming everywhere.
Vinyl copies, CDs and downloads can be found via Bandcamp.

"His sound lives somewhere between a modern-day Bob Dylan and a Bright Eyes-spirited Neil Young, with a joyful vocal tone reminiscent of Ben Folds — even dipping into the sonic territory of modern alternative bands like Oasis. It’s Americana meets classic songwriting, with a touch of rock and a gift for storytelling done beautifully. Lyrically, Johnny’s thought-provoking songs explore deeper themes of life, death, alienation, and hope." (Psychedelic Baby Magazine)
