Johnny Bertram & The Golden Bicycles

Fellow Jacksonian by way of Portland by way of Idaho, Johnny Bertram, and his 5-piece band recently released their new album, Days That Passed, back in late April via Jackson's own Esperanza Plantation.  This record combines a nice blend of the Northwest with the familiar sound of our great state.  Johnny has been playing a lot around the Jackson scene this past year, and I've had the pleasure of seeing him live multiple times and it's been great.  I'm glad to finally have a recorded version of the songs I've been enjoying at his shows.  You can buy the album anywhere on the web and at BeBop.  Be sure to come check him out this Saturday, May 8th at Hal & Mal's playing with Horse Trailer.  He's also been featured this week on WeAreHunted as the #11 and #13 out 99 of the most popular emerging songs in the world, which is incredible to see.  Posted below are a couple tracks off the record and a video of him performing at the first Jackson Impromptu Concert Series back in March.
