About Me

GET OUR MUSIC CHEAP AT THESE FINE ONLINE STORES!!!!
In 2005, John Kathman headed southbound with the band "AlbinoVega" in search of a music career in Nashville, TN. When he arrived he soon learned that everyone else was too. Albeit his odds were slim to null, he managed to obtain the faith and interest of Stacey Fleeman of SPAT! Records, and the band released their first and only official EP the spring of 2006. Soon after, AlbinoVega went on tour with Cincinnati band The Minor Leagues, and had several successful performances. The band seemed to be doing well, and things were looking up. Unfortunately just as the band were to be signed with SPAT! personal conflicts arose with the members, causing their eventual demise in 2007.
Although the band has a yet-to-be released full length up their corpses sleeves, The bands frontman and songwriter, John Kathman decided not to let them go to waste. Also writing newer material and after a years hiatus, John Kathman chose the name Johnny Granata and is currently recording his first full length entitled "Yes. Fever Evolve". Planning to release it on SPAT records this summer, he also looks forward to a solo tour to follow. you can listen to one of the new songs here, entitled All Over Your Body. Cheers.
