    FROM HIS PRESS RELEASE

    Cuban-American multi-instrumentalist Johnny Goudie announces the new supporting lineup for his EP release show at One-2-One Bar on Thursday, Sept. 13, celebrating the release of "Leper Hands," his new solo record. Goudie will now be supported by soulful Austin artist Aaron Stephens. Doors are at 7 p.m., with Aaron Stephens at 7:30 p.m. and Johnny Goudie on at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased here. The "Leper Hands" EP is set to be released on Thursday, Sept. 13. The four-track record heavily features Goudie's piano playing, mixing in vintage guitars and dynamic drum beats with his smooth indie-rock vocals. For more information about Johnny Goudie, visit www.johnnygoudie.com.

    "This EP is a modern take on a classic songwriter record," said Johnny Goudie. "Think '70s Fleetwood Mac meets 'The White Album'-era Beatles."

    Since his last solo release "El Payaso" in 2009, Goudie has been working away, playing over 100 shows a year in Supergroup cover band, SKYROCKET!, as well as starting two other bands, Liars & Saints and Johnny In The Ladies Room. In 2018, Goudie found himself writing in new creative ways, such as constructing a song based on only a title - the title track of the EP, "Leper Hands" came out of this exercise, with Goudie drawing inspiration from everything from carnivals to his own history and personal conflicts.

    "Leper Hands" was recorded in three days in January 2018 at Church House Studios and The Congress House. The EP features Goudie on vocals, piano and keyboards, Scrappy Jud Newcomb on guitar, Sean Crooks on bass and John Chipman on drums. The four had come together last August as the house band at the Dudley & Bob 25th Anniversary Show and had such a good time playing together that they teamed up again in 2018 to hit the studio and record Goudie's new songs. This EP marks the first time Goudie has had a "producer" since the '90s, with Newcomb taking on the role. Together, the band showcases a newer, simplistic musical style than Goudie's heavier rock past, with Johnny only playing the keyboards rather than his trademark guitar.

    Goudie and his band are also joined by a couple of special guests, renowned local musicians Jane Ellen Bryant and Jaimee Harris, who perform backing vocals on the EP, adding an extra dimension to the tracks.

    "After the band recorded the music and I sang all of my lead vocals, Scrappy thought it might be nice to have some female voices singing with me," said Goudie about the EP's guests. "I am very close friends with Jane Ellen Bryant and Jaimee Harris and they sing together all the time and sound so beautiful, so it was a very obvious choice. When we got their voices on this record, it gave the music such a gorgeous color. They sound like angels."

  • Case Erickson

    Patrick pats down Case Erickson (@caseerickson) about #Trucklandia and his latest business venture. Case has been in the food industry for over a decade and has been running Trucklandia for 6 years. He is a strong supporter of Food Trucks and Trucklandia is a perfect example of that. Check out https://trucklandia.com/

    This interview was great because Case opened up about his religious upbringing and the struggles he endured for authenticity. He explained his clear goals to help the Food Truck community. He is a fascinating human being with a huge heart and if you live in Austin, you've more than likely seen him dancing down the street singing foodie praises. He is an artist, comedian, entrepreneur and most importantly a friend.

    and yes we get a little crazy in the podcast but that's usually the 'Case'.....
