Album Notes

Johnny Miles is a promising young singer-songwriter from the New Jersey / Philadelphia area who has been attracting a lot of attention with the release of his full-length debut album. "Awakening" is a dynamic first effort displaying a powerful and developing talent on 14 songs written, performed, arranged and produced by Johnny.

Rooted in folk / blues with a passionate voice and poetic lyrics, Johnny's music stands out among singer-songwriters, blending themes of hope, struggle and relationship into touches of bass, piano and harmonica for a fresh acoustic sound.

Ranging from the catchy, pop-like appeal of "Stay With Me Tonite" and "Stillwater Blues" to the more roots-influenced "Remember Me, Babe" and "Unafraid" to the spoken-word of "Elusive Like Tomorrow" through to the epic ballads "Ghost Of The Sunrise" and "Heroes Of The Western Night", this cd has it all - and this songwriting talent is sure to excite and impress!

Johnny performs regularly in and around the Philadelphia area and has been seen at the Treehouse, the Point, the Fire, the Lickety Split, John and Peter's, the Grape Street Pub, assorted subways, and the streets of Collingswood, NJ - **for more info on Johnny's live performances check out www.johnnymiles.org
