STREETWISE POP MUSIC COMES TO THE MONKEY HOUSE

On Saturday February 22nd, Johnny J. Blair “Singer at Large” will take the stage at The Monkey House, a longtime listening room at 1638 University Avenue in Berkeley. Doors open at 7PM.  Johnny is promoting his album I LIKE THE STREET, offering “streetwise power pop” influenced by glam rock, psychedelia, New Wave, and gospel. Stylistically the album is influenced by Velvet Underground, Roxy Music, Erik Satie, and hints of flamenco and tango. When Johnny’s not performing and recording, his itinerary includes entertaining in assisted living homes for people with disabilities and dementia: “Music goes through the brain into places where math and language don’t go. Music heals and makes a difference.”  For more information call (510) 898-1979 or go to: themonkeyhouse.org.
