ABOUT JOHNNY BOB

Johnny Bob is a neo-prog band from Hamburg. They form 2017 in memory of two school bands which disband after their members graduate in the early nineties.

The brothers Jörg Purfürst (bass, keyboards, guitar) and Carsten Díaz (vocals, guitar) form the core of the band. Line-up is completed by Philip Mestwerdt (drums) and Ole Schützler (keyboards).

Johnny Bob release their debut album „Carnival of the Brahma-Sox“ in 2017 and ensure initial awareness. The second album „Fjodor and the Water Giant“ follows in April 2019. An EP called „Hunted by a Caproid“ sees its light of day in January 2020. In September of the same year the neo-progrockers make their follow-up with third album „Egbert’s Barber Shop“.

All releases get positive reviews. German magazine “eclipsed” rates Johnny Bob in October 2019 to become one of the “big bands in the national progressive scene”.

Johnny Bob record their 4th longplayer – a double album called “Creatures Of Light & Darkness” – from winter to summer 2021. The album takes ingredients of all former releases and mix them with a more songwriter-orientated approach. Release of “Creatures Of Light & Darkness” as double-LP (vinyl only) is planned for January 2022.
