Johnny Conqueroo

Johnny Conqueroo is a highly kinetic blues/psych-rock trio from Lexington, KY.  After releasing their first EP in 2015, the band's raw sound and energy drew the attention of local and regional audiences, with selection to play several 2016 festivals (Moonshiners Ball, Beaux Arts Ball, Great Day, Moontower, Patchwork).  Momentum is climbing with their fanbase growing and the reach of social media inspriring booking requests in new markets.

While 2016 is looking to be a watershed year for these dudes, it is important to look at the grassroots support and organic exposure from 2015, which pushed their EP towards the top of the regional charts in both air-play (WRFL College Radio) and record sales (Independently owned "CD-Central"), leading to a popular "WRFL-Live" performance on Thanksgiving eve.  As word spread, and EPs changed hands, eventually even R & R Hall of Famer Billy Gibbon's took notice
