Danny Johnson

@kevinraderr is an absolute champ, a monster behind the kit, and a wizard behind a miter saw. The studio mic stands are officially tidy and under control care of his impeccable craftsmanship — if you want one for your own studio, maybe wait a minute, because I think he’s on a brief hiatus after putting a crazy amount of hours into this killer organizational solution. 😍

Catch us at @slims_tagrams Saturday 4.18.26 with @briankandtheparkway and @daniellehowlemusic . 📷: @chadvankophotography @valshalla

Stoked to share @jacktheradiomusic “SOCKS” was used in an episode of @abc ’s @willtrentabc season 3 earlier this year! Our music was used in this hole in the wall bar scene and gets turned up in this clip in time for Trent’s vintage Porsche to roll in.

B A D L A N D S 1 0 // @jacktheradiomusic ’s album #Badlands turned ten and I’m looking back at some special moments. I’d always dreamed of writing and singing a duet and that moment magically found its place on this record among some of JTR’s heaviest hitting big rock songs, slide guitar, and synthesizers. I approached writing the song with this idea of a couple growing apart where each verse was them individually recognizing the situation, and the third and final verse was the two together acknowledging the end. I was a big fan of @elizabethjanesings of @deltarae amazing voice and in the spirit of dreaming big I reached out. At the time they were signed to Warner Bros. Records and were playing festivals like Lollapalooza and Farm Aid. After some conversations, a little paperwork, and planning around tours, Liz joined us in the studio! @mikemckeedrums was even able to join and he added some great percussion to several songs, and joined for a live and unplugged version of “CRIMINALS” in the studio (swipe to see some video)! Shout out to the band with @jtrdanny on lap steel and keys, @vallicruz on acoustic guitar, @revolu on drums, and @thechrisleeland on bass. It’s been a blast getting to sing this live with Liz over the years when the stars align. Stream “CRIMINALS” online or on vinyl at jacktheradio.com/music.

B A D L A N D S 1 0 // Our album #Badlands turned ten and we’re looking back at some special moments like the time we got to create and brew the BADLANDS Black Rye IPA with @eriklarsmyers at @mysterybrewing in Hillsborough, NC! Erik crafted a special recipe and schooled us on the #brew process, which made for a special brew day and a special release show with our own, JTR x Mystery Brewing canned #beer. 🍻🙌🏼

B A D L A N D S 1 0 // We love @wocco ’s work and he was awesome enough to grace us with this poster art around the release of our #badlands album, which turned ten today. Scroll for some big love from @ncdavidmenconi back in the @newsobserver days, Aiding & Abetting, and Blurt Magazine.

B A D L A N D S 10 // Ten years ago today we released one of our most ambitious records featuring twelve songs and a few very special guests. This week we’ll travel through time to look back on some special memories and accomplishments including song placements in NASCAR: Full Speed, BH90210, and Barmageddon, shows, music videos, and a collaboration beer with Mystery Brewing. I’m super proud of this record, the people I got to make it with, and to those that have taken the time to listen and help spread the good word! 🫶🏼 #badlands Photo by @howlermano plus some old Twitter screenshots.

“WALK ALL OVER ME” clip from this past weekend at @coalpitlive @incendiarybrew and some words from the past to remember these days: They’re sending well wishes but the well has run dry. We all pray for rain. We’ll never see clearly if it’s eye for an eye. Let’s talk it out for a change. They’re all saying this is how it has to be. So we live then die. But we’ll never stop moving cause it’s time for a change. We could both pick that fight. Tell me was it worth it. I can hardly wait to see. We both know this meant so much to me. 🎥: @__trentj__

“VAMPIRE TEETH” is now streaming online! Earlier this year Danny and George had the chance to write with our super talented friend @realyoungmister . The final product was this anthemic, nostalgia blast of a song. Stream, share, and let us know what you think. 🧛‍♂️🍁🎶
