Johnny Flynn

Johnny Flynn is the face and front-man of the band Johnny Flynn and the Sussex Wit. He's South African born, England raised and is one of my favorite people on this earth. I've been listening to Johnny for a little over five years now and just saw him for the first last night at Lee's Palace in Toronto. He's classified as 'folk-rock' and that is exactly what you should expect. He has a powerful voice that was at its best in a live atmosphere.
I only found out today that he's also an actor! Starred in a movie called 'Song One' alongside Anne Hathaway and will also be in Sils Maria opening this year. Man of many talents.

Check out a couple of my favorites!

I ALSO need to mention that band that opened for him. They're called The Melodic and they're from South London. I hadn't heard them before last night but wow...I downloaded their new album and EP today on iTunes and have had them on repeat all day. Folk/roots/latin is what they describe their sound as. They're super quirky and energetic and I was smiling the entire time they were performing. There's nothing better than discovering an amazing new band when you're already there to see someone quite amazing.
