IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Johnny Rodriguez

"Full circle...yeah, I'm old enough to know how that feels. Almost 50 years after I first arrived in Nashville, I'm right back where I've always wanted to be - making the kind of honest country music that I've always enjoyed, and that my fans enjoy, too."

And even though this year's pandemic has slowed down some of the progress of many, Johnny's team of outstanding professionals has shouldered on through the storm. Announcements of Johnny's forthcoming CD/DVD Box set are on the horizon, plus there is the addition of a personal memoir about the many twists and turns in his life leading up to the artist as we know him today.

2020 Band of the Year - Spur 327

"82 to Idalou" is featured on the 2020 Lubbock Music NOW album. Get it!!!
