Johnny Stanec

Musically combining the sounds of Britpop, Indie and elements of Americana; Johnny Stanec is a singer-songwriter from Youngstown, OH. His prolific nature has led to a deep catalog of music, with multiple releases available. He has toured over the years, with over 700 live performances (and counting) to his name. His music varies; featuring layered acoustic songs, melodic rock tunes and driving, heartland folk-rock.

His songs have lyrically dealt with alienation, death, the passing of time, and hope.

'Sunrise Sunset', was released in September 2022. The album is a progressive effort - conceptually divided into four parts, taking the listener through one day's emotions from morning until night.

A new full-length album, 'A LINEAR HISTORY', was released in February 2024. The album expands on lyrically recurring themes and attempts to examine life's chaotic journey.

"What Stanec has managed to do is reinvent the folk-rock motifs of the American greats, blazing his own trail through this country’s sonic landscape. And right now, it feels like he’s in the great plains staring up at that big blue sky. Exactly what a rock record should be: honest, masterful, and wide open." (Glide Magazine)

"With his distinctive fusion of Americana and Britpop, he brings forth a sound that is deeply evocative and universally relatable. His music, characterized by its heartfelt storytelling and expansive soundscapes, speaks directly to the soul." (Infrared Magazine)
