Jonny Blade comes Sherburn, a small town in North Yorkshire. His musical journey began when The Lottery Winners shared a video of him covering their song ‘Favourite Flavour’ on the ukelele and then invited him on stage to recreate it at the Gorilla Beer Hall in Mexborough.

From then on, his love of Gerry Cinnamon and Pablo Carizo drove him into guitar music, and, recently, he has been rewarded with a slot on tour with The Lilacs.

Straddling the line between artist and rock star, Blade pivots from excess to introspective with an ease that could blur the lines of rock ‘n’ roll forever more.
