This is what I sent them.

I am the featured artist of the month for may right now over at Music Unbuttoned!

There's an interview, pics and a video of a brand song that I filmed with them last month. Had a great time hanging out with these guys, they are doing fantastic work hunting out and promoting unsigned music. Head over there and check out their site!

NEXT GIG: Salisbury Arts Centre - Live Lunch 24th March

Tue, 12 Mar 2013 21:51:22 +0100

This is gonna be a good one!... My gig at Salisbury Arts Centre next Sunday has been named as one of the top 5 Emerging Icons gigs in the UK next week!

Rob Johnson at Salisbury Arts Centre: Salisbury, Wiltshire
"How about summat a bit different for your Sunday? Not only do we have a gig that’s taking place at lunchtime instead of an evening, we also have an artist who will stand apart from most of the other Emerging Icons on your playlist. Rob Johnson is a purveyor of fine instrumental tunes- making for a perfectly chilled addition to your afternoon (particularly for those of you with poorly heads from the night before.) With his influences ranging from the cinematic genius of Hans Zimmer to the electronica of Daft Punk, the acoustic vibe of John Mayer, darkness of NIN and everything in between… there will be creative vibes and epic soundscapes ahoy. On his Emerging Icons profile, Rob says: ‘Thanks for checking out my page. This automatically makes you twice as cool as you were before. Just so you know.’ How much cooler will seeing him in person make you? The mind boggles."

If you have a spare 5 minutes please check out my page on Emerging Icons and listen, watch and you know, like me and all that... I'll love you forever. rJx

Saturday's gig cancelled.

I've just been told that Saturday's gig has been cancelled. It looks like it has now been postponed until March, (I will post the date when I get it).
Apologies to anyone who had made plans to attend, unfortunately it is completely out of my control.

Gotta love gigs that are booked for 3 months getting cancelled 3 days before the date...
