Johnnyswim has confirmed nationwide tour dates this fall in support of their forthcoming album, Georgica Pond. The jaunt off in October. See below for details.
Georgica Pond is set for release on Sept. 30 on Big Picnic Records. “Summertime Romance,” the first track to be revealed, can be heard here: http://n.pr/2abNtXb.
The new album was produced by the duo's Abner Ramirez and recorded at their home studio in Los Angeles, with bass and drum parts added at the Castle in Nashville. Johnnyswim teamed up with longtime collaborator Britten Newbill, violinist/composer Anton Patzner, Nashville-based songwriters Natalie Hemby and Chris DeStefano, as well as country music icon Vince Gill.
Of their process, Ramirez explains, “Any fear we had on album one has completely evaporated. We know the people that come to Johnnyswim shows. We know it matters to them what we have to say. We realize that, much like ourselves, our fans appreciate honesty. We wanted that to be the cornerstone of this album.” Amanda Sudano Ramirez further highlights the themes on the album: “love, legacy, the past and the future all put into this bittersweet mixture that makes you fully appreciate the present.”
Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano Ramirez make up Johnnyswim. The pair met in Nashville in 2005, instituting a songwriting partnership not long afterward. They clicked together musically and personally, beginning a romantic relationship along with their creative connection. The couple married in 2009 and relocated to Los Angeles.
