Originally from Woodland, Maine, Johnny Hiland, age 27,
is one of the most critically acclaimed young artists to stir legendary Lower
Broadway in Nashville, the nation’s music city. Blending his unique hybrid style
of blazing chicken pickin’ with influences set in country, rock and blues styles
of the guitar heroes of his generation and those who came before, Hiland has
established a major industry buzz. Johnny is currently completing his first solo
album clearly identifying him as a major force in style and innovation. As an
incredible live performer, session player, solo recording artist/songwriter, and
master class instructor, Hiland has begun to leave his unmistakable mark on the
sound of guitar.
Much to his credit, within his first few years in Nashville Hiland has performed
as a solo artist twice on the famed Grand Ole’ Opry and twice as a solo artist
at the Ryman Auditorium. Steve Buchanan, president of the Grand Ole’Opry said,
“I have witnessed Johnny’s crowd pleasing talents on two occasions now. Each
time Johnny showcased his stellar guitar abilities, much to the delight of our
audiences.” Other notable performances include CMT’s “Most Wanted Live”, TNN’s
“Music City Tonight” and onstage performances with renowned funk master, George
Clinton and P-Funk, Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reed, Nashville ace guitarist
Brent Mason and legendary singer/songwriter Steve Cropper. Additionally Hiland
has interviewed and performed live on “Mainstream Drive” a national public radio
show in Nashville and “Radio West” a national public radio show in Utah. As an
educator, Hiland has taught master guitar classes and performed at top music
education programs across the country to include GIT, AIM, and North Texas
University among others.
Johnny’s solo recording and session work have brought praise from Grammy winning
producer/engineer Bil VornDick and from legendary producer and session guitarist
Louie Shelton. (Johnny wrote and performed an original instrumental for
Shelton’s “Nashville Guitars” project). Guitar hero Steve Vai was quoted in a
recent issue of Guitar Player saying, “I have never heard anyone in his genre of
music play with such precision and virtuosity.”
