John Roseboro - Johnny [LP]

John Roseboro “Johnny” (2023 Public Confession Art House) Artist Bio Known for his buttery voice and distinct strumming guitarist singer-songwriter and bandleader John Roseboro has been making a name for himself in the Brooklyn indie scene redefining and innovating the genre with Brazilian jazz and mysticism. Building off of the likes of João Gilberto and Antônio Carlos Jobim Roseboro’s post-bossa style carries other similarities to the greats in that his music focuses on personal and social justice undertaking major themes such as human rights love and religion being described as "probably the music that will heal the world... impossible to be indifferent in voice and soul.” John cites his upbringing particularly living with the Amish and years as a mortician as informing his playing and perspective. The new artist has received praise from indie giants Men I Trust Frankie Cosmos Field Medic Thee Sacred Souls drawing comparisons to King Krule Steve Lacy Burt Bacharach and Elliott Smith. Album Bio At the end of 2021 John Roseboro had no home no car no family and zero dollars zero cents in the bank. After a bad relationship and an even worse break up he moved to New York City because “here you only need chutzpah.” At the same time John would release a successful debut drawing attention from fellow artists labels and the internet allowing him to tour across the US and Europe. Still seeking stability Roseboro averaged a song a month a sonic diary exploring his relationships with God and women. “Johnny” is that diary. The lush post-bossa instrumentation and effortless poetry cover universal themes showing a range of expertise and execution. Dancing and crying at the same time; hurting and healing at the same time. "Johnny" shows an artist determined to move culture forward with no end in sight. credits Suggested Variant Splatter of the colors on the cover. Black White Red with Orange Base
