Lord Bishop Rocks (USA) + Johnny Black

Lord Bishop Rocks is without doubt the most exciting and musically talented rock trio of the 21st century. They combine their own style of 70s-influenced hard rock, funk, blues, jazz, reggae and punk into a sound they themselves call Hendrixian Motör Funk.

There have been many trios before them: Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Blue Cheer, Nirvana, Motörhead, Muse, Them Crooked Vultures, Green Day - all these groups stand out because they have brought new life and a new perspective to the way rock music is expressed sonically.

Lord Bishop can look back on a concert career of more than 4,000 performances in over 44 countries on four continents, which earned him and his band the reputation of probably the most extravagant rock trio of the 21st century. He always knew how to win over his audience with raw energy and his striking character. In this long career, he shared the stage with his great musical examples Living Colour, Johnny & Edgar Winter, Nazareth, Eric Burdon and many other great rockers.

Lord Bishop Rocks has taken this stylistic template to new stratospheric heights. Imagine Beatles-like melodies, the heaviness of Sabbath and the funk of James Brown, all rolled into one. What is certain is that Lord Bishop Rocks will sooner or later be the best-known and most sought-after pure rock trio in the history of the music world.

"First there was Howlin' Wolf, then Jimi Hendrix, now the world has Lord Bishop!" said Davo, bassist of Mother Tongue, once after a performance together with the six-foot-two black giant from the Bronx in New York City, in whose veins pure rock 'n' roll flows.

Johnny Black is a solid rock band formed during the hard times of the Covid era. What started as a home project during the lockdown soon grew into something bigger. During the lockdown, Jan Verdoorn, the creative brain behind the music, started making songs that reflected real life. Later, this music grew into Johnny Black.

In April 2023, Johnny Black released their first single, "Story of Your Life." With Jan's powerful vocals and catchy guitar melodies, along with Jeroen Polderman's solid drumming, the song touched many people. The enthusiastic response made them realise they were onto something special.

With the support of their new fans, they wanted to develop their sound further. So they were joined by Serge Naberman, a good friend and talented guitarist, who added a new layer to their music with his solos. With each band member bringing a lot of experience, Johnny Black became a strong band.

In March 2024, they released their latest single, "Soul Vacation," cementing their place in the rock scene. The song, with its powerful choruses and strong instrumentation, shows exactly what Johnny Black stands for: making music that touches deep down in your soul.

Now, as a close-knit group of three, Johnny Black is ready to perform all over the world and blow audiences away with their energetic shows. With their passion for music and unique sound, Johnny Black is ready to rock everyone!
