Hey there all you Wild Turkeys, this is your man Johnny coming to you from Delights HQ with a very special announcement: |

WE! HAVE! PUBLIC! SHOWS! You read that right. For the first time since mid-March, we can officially invite all of our friends in The Villages to weekly shows that are open to the public! Starting August 3rd you can see the gals and I, LIVE AND IN PERSON, every Monday evening at Legacy Country Club in the Villages from 4:30-7:30pm. As if that wasn’t enough, you can also catch us Friday evenings at Havana Country Club starting August 21st, also from 4:30-7:30pm. That’s two shows in the Villages EVERY SINGLE WEEK. Keep in mind, given the current climate, capacity at each venue will be even more limited than usual (50-60 seats) so be sure and call 352-753-1475 to make your reservations as soon as you can. You can swing by www.LegacyRestaurant.com and www.HavanaCC.com for more information as well. The menu at each spot looks fantastic and the hospitality team has already been a pleasure to work with. We also have some fantastic outdoor full band shows happening in early August at some of our favorite spots around the Southeast. Theatre Winter Haven has started sponsoring live entertainment in the baseball stadium next door (Chain ‘O Lakes Stadium) and we’re pleased with how safe and well-managed the shows have been. We’ll be swinging for the fences on August 7th at 8:00pm. Tickets are on sale now at www.theatrewinterhaven.com/stadium-events/. From there, we’re getting the heck out of this Florida heat for a quick weekend in beautiful Canton, GA for their River Rock Concert Series. We take over the Etowah River Park Amphitheater on August 15th from 7-10pm. This event is FREE and open to the public, with some very creative safety and social distancing measures in place. More info here: www.CantonGA.gov. If you’ve got friends in North Georgia, tell ‘em to come and see us! |

Speaking of exciting shows, our Driveway Parties have been such an amazing success throughout the summer that we’re going to keep them in the rotation for the foreseeable future. I can’t think of a better way to spend a nice fall evening than singing and dancing with our friends under a cool Florida sunset. If you’d like to book us for a trio show - or even a night with the full band - we are running some great fall and winter specials right now and would love to fill up the calendar with these one-of-a-kind private events. Give us a shout at info@JohnnyWild.com or call 407-680-4781 for details. |

In other equally exciting news, all three of our albums are finally available on all major streaming platforms! Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Google Play, Napster (even something called Deezer, whatever that is). HEY - if you use it, we’re on it, baby! If you’re looking to download and buy, ITUNES is the way to go. If you’re looking to stream, we suggest SPOTIFY. And if you really wanna help us out, make a playlist with all our tunes and just leave it on repeat. Seriously - even if it’s on mute in the background, it’ll log as an official play. Hack that system! Here are some links to our official pages: SPOTIFY - ITUNES |

Speaking of streaming, we’ve been doing our best to bring you Live Feeds from many of our private gigs in the last few months. Despite some bizarre technical issues (over-heating phones, spotty Wi-Fi, alien interference, etc.), we’ve had a lot of folks tune in and rock out with us online. We love finding new and creative ways to bring the music to our fans and we really enjoy the (frequently hilarious) interaction with the peanut gallery - especially all you yuksters chiming in between sets. Keep an eye on our FACEBOOK PAGE in the coming weeks for more stream announcements. If you’re not feeling ready to leave the house yet, we totally understand. These Live Streams will help to keep all of our fans in the loop, no matter what your comfort level is. We’ll do our best to have streams going for both the Winter Haven and Canton shows as well. |

As always, the Johnny Wild Merch Shop is up and ready for your orders 24 hours a day. Official Johnny Wild CDs, enamel pins and shades are all just a few clicks away. Pour yourself a cocktail or two and buy the whole lot from the comfort of your couch, bed, porch or *gasp* the friendly confines of your personal lavatory (we won’t tell!) |

We greatly appreciate all of your support through these challenging and fascinating times. These are the moments that unite us and bring out the best in those who are willing to adapt and persevere. Johnny Wild & The Delights are committed to the serious business of rocking and, whether it’s online or in person, we can’t wait to rock with you! RAVE ON! ~Jonathan D. Wild |
