Press
“Having Johnny Swank at our festival was great! His music is great, and he has an attitude to match - fantastic to work with!... During our outdoor festival, a thunderstorm rolled through, killing the stage he was about to perform on - Johnny didn't skip a beat! He simply pulled over to the sidewalk, started playing his Fritocaster and Suitcase Bass Drum, and the festival continued on! Thanks, Johnny!”
