Johnny Solinger, lead singer for SKID ROW, plans to release an album of his own material in 2008 that will draw more upon his Texas-born country influences such as Hank Williams Sr. and Merle Haggard. Johnny Solinger first broke onto the scene when he formed the band SOLINGER in Dallas, Texas. SOLINGER played the regional circuit, enjoying success in Texas and throughout the West. In January of 2000, Johnny was invited to join the multi-platinum rock band SKID ROW, immediately embarking on a nine-month tour with KISS just weeks later. To date, Johnny Solinger has toured the world many times over and recorded two records with SKID ROW, Thickskin, and the latest release entitled Revolutions Per Minute, which was released in October of 2006 and is in stores worldwide. 2008 sees Johnny pursuing something that's been running through his veins his whole life... country music. On his latest solo material he proclaims... "Aside from SKID ROW, I've been recording some country tunes as well (hell, I AM from Texas), and while it might seem odd to have such drastic tastes in music, it seems perfectly natural to me." The direction is subliminally evident in the country-soaked ditty that snuck its way onto Revolutions Per Minute entitled "You Lie," and more Johnny Solinger country music is on its way. Teaming up with some of the greatest players Texas has to offer, including guitarist David Grissom (Dixie Chicks, Storyville), bassist Tommy Shannon (Stevie Ray Vaughn, Double Trouble) and many more... Johnny Solinger is sure to make a big noise in the Texas country music scene in the years to come.
