by Danny Coleman - published 2023-12-21

"Yeah, just busting it out and trying to have some fun. I've been doing some shows, was down in Florida and did a show in Boca and near Tampa and I released my fifth album," said guitarist Will Johns as he talked about his latest release, "Yin & Yang," a recent run of shows and more. "I've been out on my own, I had Tom Hamilton and played with Bernie Rose and some other guys; I did a private event with some young players, I did another black tie private event all in advance of the release in October. The single "Ruthless" is out along with a video which you can find on YouTube and all of the usual streaming platforms."
