Oh you lucky EYP people!  Stateside rock god, Johnny Bennett, will be headlining at Upstairs at The Garage on 9 October.  He’ll be rocking his latest album The Violent Hush, which will include the single Sister Pharmaceutical which will be released on 19 October in the UK and the chart busting US hit “World on Fire”. 

This is what some people have said about him:

Just when you think you have all the answers, Johnny Bennett goes and changes the question.  His latest record, the Violet Hush, is a whiskey-soaked thrill-ride through the darkest reaches of Americana.

My mates in the States have been telling me about Johnny for some time and this album has whetted my appetite. Sister Pharmaceutical, Why Are You So Happy and World on Fire are the quality treats. 
Johnny Bennett is very much the future of bluesy singer-songwriter indie rock.
