Johnny Franco – Stay Real

Walk down any street in Portland, Oregon and you are sure to encounter a mustachioed Brazilian spaghetti western rock and roll troubadour named Johnny Franco. Recently moving from Sao Paulo, Johnny has developed a cult following in Portland for his high energy street performances and stylish music. Signed by music producer Sterling Fox (Lana Del Rey, Elle King) on his label Blanket Fort, Johnny has put together a debut EP that feels instantly timeless. The debut single “Treated Like Grass” combines Dylanesque vocal stylings with a unique jangly Brazilian influenced beat. The EP Experience Report #1 is due out in early 2020. Johnny now finds himself in Portland, Oregon. Between day-long street-performances where he plays a mix of his own songs and covers, Johnny found time to record his debut collection of songs under his own name. Experience Report #1 is the name of the EP, featuring four tracks of spaghetti-western jungle-folk that are as wild and varied as his background.
