Johnnyswim

Acclaimed husband and wife band Johnnyswim have confirmed new European and North American tour dates through November. North American dates include San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, Boston and their November 1 date at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Fan pre-sale begins today, May 9 at 12 pm EST, local pre-sale to begin Wednesday, May 10, and general on-sales begin Friday, May 12 at 12 pm EST.

The band’s latest album Georgica Pond continues to receive widespread critical acclaim with NPR Music stating, “Their sparkly pop songs exude L.A. sleekness, but they’d easily translate to country radio with the application of a little twang… and the lyrics frequently touch on the elation, complication and lifelong work inherent in love, devotion and family.” All Music remarked, “Whether they’re conveying the wonderful highs or the bittersweet lows of relationships, it’s enough to elicit a flood of relatability and understanding.”

Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano Ramirez make up Johnnyswim. Abner trained as a musician at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts in his native Jacksonville, Florida. Amanda spent summers touring the world as a backing singer for her mother, Donna Summer. The pair met in Nashville in 2005, instituting a songwriting partnership not long afterwards. 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. In addition to their 2014 debut full-length Diamonds, which sold over 50,000 copies and has almost 30 million streams, they’ve released three EPs as well as a Christmas EP and a live album. They’ve performed on television shows including VH1’s “You Oughta Know Concert,” “The Tonight Show starring Jay Leno,” “Late Show with David Letterman,” “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson,” “Today,” “Live with Kelly & Michael” and their song “Home” remains the theme for HGTV’s “Fixer Upper.”
