about

With the highly positive feedback from O’Neil’s 2021 debut
solo album “Truth or Dare,” Johnny O’Neil and his band have
successfully seized the momentum that not only carried them
through a global pandemic, but leveraged the shift in global
attitudes as an inspiration for many of the ten new recorded
tracks featured on “Brand New Day,” scheduled for release on
June 21, 2023.

Band members Johnny O’Neil, John Funk, Benny Craig, and
Joachim Baecker used the previous year wisely, spending
months hunkered down in writing and rehearsal sessions, then
returning—along with stalwart long-time engineer and producer
Brian Bart—to Winterland Studios in Minneapolis, as well as the
legendary Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, MN. The resulting album, “Brand New Day,” is the first to take advantage of all
four members’ creative input and musicianship, with the result
being a much more dynamic and expansive palette of sonic
landscapes and textures.

Besides the characteristic blistering guitar work that defines
O’Neil’s approach, several songs add strings, saxophone,
organ, and piano to the mix, and with the help of relevant
lyrics, create memorable, energy-infused, breathtaking musical
statements. Even pre-release demo listenings have garnered
a very enthusiastic response to the new music from Johnny
O’Neil and his band. And now with the album’s official release,
the world will truly get to experience a “Brand New Day.”
