From having half a BILLION streams worldwide, to seven top-ten Billboard charting albums in the US, to being named Canada’s “Guitarist of the Year,” to winning eight “Best Album” awards, and winning the “People’s Choice” award in the UK, Johannes Linstead has become recognized internationally as one of the best selling guitarists in the Instrumental, New Age, Jazz and World Music genres.

2021 marks the release of Bohemian Strings, Johannes’ 11th studio album. The album brings together musicians from many diverse ethnic backgrounds, including Greece, Palestine, France, Canada, Australia, Iran, and the Dominican Republic, creating a unique listening experience, with emotional ballads and upbeat rumbas. Latin percussion, Middle Eastern violin, and raspy Gypsy vocals add a distinct spice to this very colorful album.

Bohemian Strings is Johannes first full release since his 2017 Billboard-charting release, Azul. True to form, the album is full of gorgeous melodies, infectious rhythms, and the incredible jaw-dropping guitar work that has earned Johannes the awe and respect of guitar aficionados throughout his two decade career. The music whisks the listener through the quaint back alleys of southern France, to the hidden taverns of Moorish Spain and the Mediterranean, with many musical surprises along the way.
