Edmonton, AB Feb.5.08 -- Alt-rocker Jonny Mericana is turning a lot of heads these days. The quiet spoken artist is quickly becoming known as a powerhouse on stage, breaking into the scene like he has a point to make. He has been compared to the likes of Jimmy Page & Robert Plant (yes, together), Jeff Martin (Tea Party), Ian Thornley (Big Wreck), Chris Cornell (Soundgarden), & Jeff Buckley. His sound has been best described as dark, gritty alt-rock with a Zeppelin-esque edge.
As former guitar player from one of the areas biggest “buzz-bands” Murder City Sparrows, he's got some hype to live up to. National touring, music videos, and regular airplay on mainstream radio would make getting back out there a little daunting for anybody. "It has taught me a lot about what I want to do, and how I want to do it this time around. The bar has been set high, and I owe a lot to the Sparrows for that. "
The upcoming album will be produced in Edmonton by Brad Smith of Mr. Smith Productions and is planned for a late summer release while the new band is being worked in.” By summer we will have something to announce”.
