VERONICA AND DAVE JOHNNY

ABOUT THE JOHNNYS

The Johnnys are an Ontario-based duo that deliver three-minute original songs of jet-fuelled
rock’n’roll, with cheeky lyrics and anthemic choruses! The duo performs with a full band.
Veronica’s culture and heritage is reflected in Indigenous influences on topics of the
environment, social justice, and political change. Veronica is a proud member of the Athabasca
Chipewyan First Nation.

Dave and Veronica Johnny (The Johnnys) have been crossing cultural boundaries by blending
traditional Indigenous values and language with high voltage chords and thumping melodies.
Their four independently released albums were all nominated for national music awards. Their
all-Cree single, Nisakihtan Kiya Kisoskatowin (I love your heat) was on the Indigenous Music
Countdown for 11 weeks and reached the Top 10.

Released in December 2023, The Johnnys’ 5th album – Leathers and Feathers (Salas/Gutierrez
Remixes) – was produced by world-renowned guitarist Stevie Salas (with engineer Kevin
Gutierrez). The EP features original cover art by Dave, who creates images under the name
Part Raven.

The album showcases a climate emergency song called Frog in a Pot (Salas/Gutierrez Remix)
which is reflective of the forest fire evacuations of Veronica’s home communities in the NWT &
northern Alberta, this last summer. “It’s getting hot!” The song also reached Top 10 in Canada
and streaming on The IndigiVerse and Sirius XM! @thejohnnysofficial
