I’m Johnny Bauer, an Americana songwriter and guitarist from western NY. I quit my day job almost 4yrs ago to hit the road and perform out of state as a full-time musician. I taught my partner of 13yrs how to play bass & sing in 2020 and we now perform together as a duo. (1/2)
A new original blues song of mine just premiered on YouTube today - shot and edited by Rambling Bear Media for our promo kit! 🤠

‘New Shoes’ is out today!

lnk.to/JohnnyBauerN...

Upbeat, danceable alt-country rock with honky-tonk vibes. A playful back-and-forth between a bold woman who wants commitment and a partner trying to prove his love—one pair of boots at a time.

Sorry I’m not as active here as other platforms, it’s hard to find the time! This year has seen me push toward a bluesier direction in songwriting with my country roots still coming through. Wanted to share a short teaser of a new song I’ve been playing out the last month! #bluesmusic #bluesguitar

‘King of Broken Hearts’ is out now! lnkfi.re/Kingofbroken...
Pretty proud of this song considering we produced and recorded it ourselves with master drummer Emmett Ientilucci on the drums. The first of 3 singles and 1 album coming in 2025!

As an Americana musician leaning to the country side of things, I stumbled upon this breakdown of terms/sub-genres that was super helpful and taught me some stuff. You may not “need to label”, but when you publish and promote your work it’s important to use terms that fit your songs and intention.
Compendium of Country Music Definitions, Subgenres, Terms, & Eras
Country music is country music, and the best definition of what country music is, is that you know it when you hear it. It's self-evident. But the genre has birthed many subgenres, many stylistic move...

You’re the US Marines band at the White House and Mavis Staples 👑 walks into the room so you start playing "I’ll Take You There" and this happens👇

Our living room drum set has briefly had to step aside to make room for our Christmas tree (not far as you can see).

For years I was a solo acoustic guy until I got a solid duo partner just in these past few years, 90s country got me into that, and this Taylor guitar has been with me for all of it! If anyone has any Taylor questions hit me up 👌

on “Wonderful Christmastime,” Sir Paul McCartney set out to make a timeless christmas classic and also to figure out what every button on his synthesizer did, and he absolutely succeeded at one of those things

I guess it’s no surprise that some of our favorite music is made my husband/wife duos! Whitehorse is a Canadian Americana band (or “Canadiana”) and it’s seriously amazing what they’re able to do with just two people youtu.be/ALjg_NYDByo?...

Generally don’t post show promo here, but would be interested in knowing if any of my BlueSky friends are near any of these places in Florida! We will also be in Gainesville on Monday. #floridamusicscene #floridamusic

Last night at our show, during the break they were playing this Steve Earle tune that I had somehow never heard. Seriously thinking about adding it to the set list!

Hard to believe it’s been a year since this song was released! “Over and Over Again” was the first song Nicki recorded with me and now we have a very ambitious list of songs to be released in 2025! Thanks for listening 🤠 #americanamusic #songwriter

I consider myself equal parts a songwriter and guitar player. The algorithms all around have been favoring guitar solos, so at least I can try to play my own, the best of both worlds!
Here’s the tail end of “Home” from a festival this summer. #americanamusic #americanasongwriter #telecaster

This will now be my 5th year playing in Florida for the winter season! West coast Sarasota to Fort Myers, but looking to branch out to new areas that love Americana and Blues - any areas/venues to check out? PS The Funky Biscuit is on our list!

Lately I’ve become somewhat of a super fan of #gregkoch - He doesn’t consider himself to play just one genre which I absolutely relate to, and he’s a funny down-to-earth guitar master. More people should know who this guy is!
