DARYL JOHNS - DARYL JOHNS - MAC’S RECORD LABEL
Since moving westward to join the band of the reigning king of indie rock, Mac Demarco, Johns has found footing in a community of artists that includes 70s soft-rock revival band, Drugdealer, and various new wave jazz musicians such as Pedro Martins and Chris Fishman. Born to jazz musician parents—and with many celebrating Johns previously as the foremost jazz upright bassist of his generation (having created a unique sound so far eluding imitation)—Daryl is known and beloved for his performance and recording work with Pat Metheny, Martins, Vijay Iyer, The Lemon Twigs, Macy Gray, and Immanuel Wilkins to name a handful. He has steadily built notoriety as a solo artist; and, with this debut, Daryl Johns, Johns offers, “I just made it cuz I like it. I just wanna have fun.” He continues, “Let’s have a good time.”
