Sturgill Simpson, the genre-bending musical maverick, is shedding his skin and spreading his wings. Buckle up, because Johnny Blue Skies, his electrifying new alias, is here to take us on a sonic adventure.

Remember that vow to only release five albums under his own name? Consider it a mission accomplished with 2020’s “Cuttin Grass Vol. 2.” Now, Johnny Blue Skies paints the sky with a whole new palette of sounds.

Get ready to mark your calendars for July 12th, 2024. That’s when “Passage Du Desir,” Johnny Blue Skies’ debut album under this new persona, blasts off from his very own High Top Mountain Records. This record promises a fresh exploration of his musical universe, a testament to his ever-evolving artistry. Co-piloted by Johnny Blue Skies himself and David Ferguson, the album was born in two legendary studios: Clement House in Nashville and the iconic Abbey Road in London.

The eight-track journey promises to be captivating, with titles like “Swamp of Sadness,” “Jupiter’s Faerie,” and “Mint Tea” hinting at the diverse sonic landscapes we’re about to explore.

But the adventure doesn’t end there! This fall, Johnny Blue Skies takes his music on the road with the aptly named Why Not? Tour. Kicking off at Outside Lands in San Francisco, the tour promises to touch down in major cities across the US, from Los Angeles to Chicago and New York.

For those who’ve followed Sturgill Simpson’s remarkable trajectory, Johnny Blue Skies represents a thrilling metamorphosis. It’s a chance to witness the birth of a new musical identity, one brimming with potential. So, mark your calendars, prep your playlists, and get ready to be swept away by “Passage Du Desir” on July 12th. And if you have the chance, don’t miss your chance to catch Johnny Blue Skies live on the Why Not? Tour. It’s a privilege to witness an artist constantly pushing boundaries and taking flight.
