Legend has it that the term, helldorado was coined by a disgruntled gold miner during the infamous gold rush on the West Coast. The miner said that instead of finding their 'El Dorado of Riches’, they ended up scratching out a living doing what ever they could from shoveling manure to washing dishes, they instead had found their Helldorado. Johnny Angel and Helldorado, a Western swing outfit, play music with the grit and fiery intensity that the miner who coined the phrase 'helldorado' meant. This 6 piece band features a pedal steel guitar (Ronald Reiss) , fiddler (Michael Harvey), lead and rhythm guitar (Ben Rosow), upright bass (MarkAlain Dery) drums (Kit Keen and James Clark) ,,,and of course... Johnny Angel.... country singer, songwriter and guitarist is a compelling stylist who tears his tunes to tatters and draws influences from traditional country, rockabilly, and of course Western swing., Listening to Johnny Angel and Helldorado captures the energetic western grit that conjures the image of a train driving full speed into a tunnel where there is no light at the end. Johnny Angel and Helldorado ain't your daddy's Country & Western swing band. It's your GRANDADDY'S.. Johnny Angel and Helldorado whips the audience into a, stomping barn dancing frenzy while paying homage to that gold miner who never did find his 'El Dorado of Riches'.
