Artist Profile
UNCLE JOHNA rock 'n' roll band hailing from Kyoto, Japan. They are known for their original songs that breathe modern sensibility into roots music, as well as their extensive repertoire of covers. Their live performances are powered by NANA's vocals (honed night after night in old-school house bands) alongside TARO's guitar, KANTA's powerful and tight drumming, and his younger brother SHINPEI's bass, who crafts his own musical processes. The band strictly adheres to a fully DIY, self-produced style, handling everything from recording and jacket design to photography and video production entirely on their own. They continue to make waves in the global rock 'n' roll scene, having shared the stage with legendary artists such as Paul Simonon (The Clash), The Kaisers, and Charles Berry III, as well as touring overseas and releasing music in Germany.
