Based out of Los Angeles, CA, Johnny Hawthorn has been amplifying his reputation as a world class guitar player and songwriter. Originally from Philadelphia, PA, he came to Hollywood as an eager player and immersed himself in the music scene.
Hitting the bar, club and backyard party circuit and with his versatility on guitar, lapsteel and mandolin he became the “hired gun” in town and has played for numerous local and national bands.
The first CD titled “Johnny Hawthorn Band” (released in 2006) was well received and the instrumental song “Cream” still receives substantial rotation on internet and satellite radio. Mike Varney from Guitar Player Magazine wrote: “Hawthorn is a gifted player on all fronts, with phasing reminiscent of Clapton and Hendrix…”
The 2nd CD Death & Taxes, received 2009’s Recommended CD’s from “American Music” (Belgium). Blues Matters (UK) magazine wrote, “As a guitar player he can be awesome, whether in out-and-out country mode or playing full throttle blues rock.”
"Pawn Shop Tattered Heart" marks the third CD for the Johnny Hawthorn Band and pushes the band forward to a more polished sound favoring more riff oriented songs. Recorded over the past few years, the project started out as a "just for fun" two song project and gradually turned into a full 11 song project. Throughout the course of the project, different rhythm sections were used which gives each song it's own character and flavor. Additionally many different guitar sounds and amps were employed to give each song a layered effect with different sounds coming in and out of the mix.
