"Johnny Grit tours rock sound"

In baseball, it's hitting for the cycle -- single, double, triple, home run. In local music, it's hitting the big four live music joints on Broadway, and Johnny Grit is three-quarters of the way there. On Friday, they play Amigos. The next night it's their CD release party at Bud's. Not many bands are flexible enough to move between those two spots. "It's a pretty rare feat," says Fabian Minnema. The crowds always differ but the positive response is the same. The Grits also play Lydia's regularly -- next on Sept. 14. That leaves only the Roxy, and they're working on it. The band's debut is titled Badlands, recorded and mixed locally. All 11 tracks are original. "It's a good rock 'n' roll record," says Minnema. The band also has a yet-to-be-released EP of "heavy blues-reverb-rock." - Saskatoon Star Phoenix

Bio

Formed in 2005, Johnny Grit hit the live music scene in Saskatoon hard.

Calling on all clubs who usually promote cover bands and tribute acts, Johnny Grit set out to give this city a shot in the arm.

Putting together a live musical act of high energy rock and roll and seeing to it that people had fun, no matter if they'd ever heard the songs before or thought they had. Sharing the stage with David Wilcox ,one of Canadas biggest and best bluesers in front of 8000 people really gave the band a shot in the right direction. With influences ranging from Rory Gallagher to Kings Of Leon,The Tragically Hip to Pearl Jam. Big things are planned for this four piece from Canada.

To this band its about music, not someone elses but something else.

Something that people can relate too and have fun too, thats what its all about isnt it?
