Johnny Who?! There you are at the bar of the only pub in a small country town and some guy has got your friend in a headlock and is threatening to kill you for no apparent reason other than the fact that you refused to play ‘Smoke on the Water’ with your three piece folk band. This is the setting of ‘Jonny Who?!’ the new release by Australian blues singer/guitarist/songwriter Jonno Zilber. ‘Jonny Who?!’ is a collection of songs written and recorded over the period of twelve months and is influenced by life as a normal person with a 'real job' after having spent five years on the road as a young musician in the Australian blues scene. The songs were written and recorded on the far south coast of New South Wales, some of which were written in a fine establishment in Wyndham known by the locals as The Bank Robber’s Inn, but you'll have to ask them about that story, I'm just here to sell you a record. The music industry is a superman style “bizzarro world” full of drunkenness, strange girls, slow cars, anti-Semitic Icelandic fishermen, flying prosthetic legs and poker machines that are louder than the live band on the stage next to them. A world where as Tom Waits once said “the large print giveth and the small print taketh away” and musicians have to refer to themselves in the third person just to make them seem more important than they really are. That is where you will find me, my name is Jonno Zilber. I was a professional musician from the age of sixteen years until I was twenty one and in my relatively short career I played all around Australia and internationally. I‟ve played everywhere from school yards to prison yards, outback pubs with topless dancers to churches with born-again preachers, run down bars with no electricity to large international festivals. Some of the bigger festivals that I have played include the Adelaide International Guitar Festival, National Folk Festival, Australian Blues Music Festival and the Himalayan Blues Festival. I have gigged with some big names in Australian music and shared the stage and recorded with some of Australia‟s most respected blues musicians including Lloyd Spiegel, Geoff Achison, Chain and the late Dutch Tilders. Oh, and once I met Lucky Oceans. With two solo albums and a bunch of other records behind me, I give to you my latest offering, it is entitled „Jonny Who?‟. I hope you enjoy it. Your friend and mine, Jonathon D. Zilber
