notes
Available exclusively here on CD Baby is "The Lost Ep" recorded in the US with help from Fleetwood Mac producer Richard Dashutt but not released.
With his new album "Here Comes The Caviar" debuted in the top 20 of New Zealand's charts, Greg Johnson proves that superior songwriting paired with velvety lush vocals and devilish good looks always reign divine.
Johnson's shows have become legendary in New Zealand for their blend of cabaret styling, catchy pop songs and quirky storytelling. In March 2004, he was the first artist to sell-out the New Zealand International Arts Festival in Wellington and continued on with three sold out performances in Auckland.
Johnson first discovered his zeal for music while growing up in Auckland, New Zealand, on an eccentric blend of punk rock, Simon and Garfunkel and classical music. With a passion for performance and music in his heart, Johnson joined the late night band Bluespeak, singing and playing the trumpet for a living. It was here that Johnson further developed his distinctive and personable on-stage style. However, as pop music is his first love, he soon began to write and record pioneering pop songs under his own name. "Vine Street Stories" was his first breakthrough featuring 4 top 20 singles. The next two solo albums "Chinese Whispers" and "Sea Breeze Motel" introduced numerous pop gems including the classic hit "Liberty", which garnered the distinguished Australasian Performing Rights Association Silver Scroll award.
Relocating to Los Angeles in 2002 has proved lucrative creatively as Johnson joined forces with renowned record producer Clark Stiles (Dandy Warhols, Phunk Junkees) to complete "Here Comes The Caviar".
In his move to the States, Johnson was accompanied by his manager, Michelle Bakker, and guitarist, Ted Brown. To round out the act, Johnson and Brown team with Sid Jordan(Minibar) and Malcolm Cross (Minibar/ Wallflowers). The band regularly performs in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

When the hook comes round, you're hooked.
author: LarryKGreat songs, when the hook comes round...you're hooked. It's always been that way with Greg, this album delivers on cue.
Typically tuneful and catchy material from our most underrated Kiwi
author: Kevin CampbellWe have all Gregs earlier CD's and went to all his shows before he left for the states this year. This Kiwi is world-class and the latest CD is ten tracks too short. My hit picks are "Keep the noise down" and "sunny Day".
Great intro to the new CD - it is classic Greg Johnson
author: EllenI have all Greg's CDs and those he did with Bluespeak, and this is a great addition to that collection. Sunny Day is the stand out track from this sampler CD, and has a similiar feeling as an earlier song Don't Wait Another Day. I recommend this CD, and can not wait for the full length CD to be released.... hurry up Greg!!!!
