Biography
+ Johnny is a pop rock singer, songwriter with a flair for writing catchy pop melodies with strong hooks who also possesses an exciting, live stage presence. Johnny had a major label contract with his former band Skin & Bones, produced by Andy Taylor and is now releasing his own music as an independent solo artist. To date, Johnny has five independent CD releases currently in worldwide distribution, enjoying both critical and commercial success.

+ Born in Baltimore, Maryland, by his teenage years, Johnny was front man for the regionally successful pop group, “The Vamps”. They opened for headliners such as Joan Jett and Modern English. Realizing the need to showcase his talent in a larger market, he relocated to New York City, where he formed the rock group, “Skin & Bones”, who in 1990, released their debut album, "Not A Pretty Sight", on Equinox Records, recorded at the legendary Trident Studio in England, and produced by Andy Taylor of Duran Duran fame. It featured a stripped-down, but accomplished brand of pop/rock blended with Johnny's extremely direct vocal style. Media attention brought about record sales that soared all over Europe, especially in Japan and Germany. After relentless touring across the United States, they released their album Madhouse in 1992. Next, Johnny was offered an invitation to Los Angeles to write and sing for television and motion picture soundtracks. These credits include songs written for The Heights, a FOX Network hit in 1993, and major motion pictures, West From North Goes South and Hell High. Throughout this period of success there were unusual twists and turns that led him to Nashville and ultimately to New England.

+ Within a year of moving back to the New England area, Johnny's current lineup simply titled the "Johnny Vance Band" competed in and won a 5-week "Battle of the Bands" competition and were dubbed "The Cape's Most Dangerous Band 2006" which opened many avenues for the band who are currently touring the Eastern Seaboard.

+ Sedgewick Records: In July of 2006 the Johnny Vance Band lent their talents in a fund raiser charity event with their recording of the classic "Don't Be Cruel" (track #17). The CD titled Cape Cod Covers VOL 1 The King, produced by David Wood, is available at CD Baby, Tower Records, Newbury Comics and locally throughout New England. The album proceeds go to benefit "Angel Flight N.E". 70 talented musicians, producers and audio engineers came to together to lend their talents and pay tribute to the great Elvis Presley.

+ Sedgewick Records 2007: Includes the song "With A Little Help From My Friends", with Johnny Vance and more than 50 of Cape Cod's most popular artists all performing together on one song. Don't miss Carly Simon on Track I - Blackbird. The new CD was released on June 1st, 2007.
