Johnny Flynn is an acoustic, upbeat singer-songwriter from London. Flynn’s first single for Vertigo is a wonderfully lazy, acoustic guitar driven song that arrives on the back of live dates with Jack Peñate.
Vertigo Records released the debut album by 24 year old Johnny Flynn entitled ‘A Larum’ on 26th May 2008 including the single ‘Tickle Me Pink’.
2007 was a hell of a year for Johnny Flynn having released a bunch of critically acclaimed singles (both on Young & Lost and his new home Vertigo), wowing crowds from Buffalo Bar to Bestival, from the End Of The Road festival to the Royal Albert Hall and recording his debut album in the Autumn made for a busy year. But if 2007 was the year when word began to spread about this prodigiously talented 24 year old, then 2008 is the year that those whispers became a chorus. Further evidence of this is Johnny’s signing to US label Lost Highway, home of Johnny Cash, Ryan Adams and Van Morrison to name a few. He is the first UK artist to sign to this prestigious label.
Johnny Flynn’s music is brimming over with heart, soul and intelligence. Drawing on diverse influences - Pixies, Vaughn Williams and anti-folk pioneer Dianne Cluck are all name checked on his Myspace page - Johnny draws on a century’s worth of folk, blues and country to create a sound that dwells profoundly in the now.

Found Johnny by accident. What a talented soulful composer, writer, singer. Please come to Jazzfest in New Orleans so I may hear you personally. I felt so many emotions in your music. Gripping! I can't wait for more.
