Singer/songwriter Veronica Johnny hails from the sub-arctic community of Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, Canada. Cree, Chipeywan, Ojibwa, and Mohawk bloodlines percolate proudly through her viens. A spiritual aboriginal artist, Veronica's solo work explores themes of love, healing, culture and identity.Veronica is also the lead singer and rythmn guitarist of a four-piece rock'n'roll band, The JOHNNYS. The group is best described as fast-paced, spontaneous combustion paced by the driving beats of Veronica's drummer/husband, Dave Johnny. Dave & Veronica Johnny launched The JOHNNYS in 2003, shortly after they met playing in a Northwest Territories-based bar band. In 2005 they relocated to Toronto, later teaming up with guitarist Emma-O and bassist Frank Skinner.
The JOHNNYS pride themselves on bashing out short, rapid-fire anthems. Their high-octane garage-punk invites crowds to a blitz of sweaty, frenzied dancing. Let the good times rock'n'roll!
