COLORWAY
Colorway is a dynamic, original trio from Northampton, Massachusetts who play rootsy, pop-rock songs infused with inventive, energetic and melodic lead guitar. The band's second album, The Black Sky Sequined (mastered by engineering legend Bob Ludwig) was called "One of the finest rock albums of 2015" by Ric Albano (Modern Rock Review) and Diffuser's Chuck Armstrong called the band's single "Come Back July" "impossibly catchy" when they premiered the video in 2015. Colorway has recently opened sold out shows for Foreigner, The Yardbirds, Delta Deep (feat. members of Def Leppard and Stone Temple Pilots), Ian Hunter and Television's Richard Lloyd (who called the band "amazing and inspiring"). The trio was also included in this year's Green River Festival which Rolling Stone named a "must see" music fest.
Though the easy way to describe the style of music is rootsy, pop-rock, don't be fooled. The band can jam, and are convincing audiences far and wide that it's possible to extend the boundaries of the traditional four minute song and still have it stuck in your head all day.
Colorway is currently writing and rehearsing material for their third album (release date TBA) and will be performing the new songs live at all of their upcoming shows.
F. Alex Johnson formed Colorway in early 2013 in Northampton, Massachusetts along with bassist Dave Hayes (Superkart/Heather Maloney) and drummer JJ OConnell (Heather Maloney/MC Frontalot).
The band seamlessly fuses stuck-in-your-head pop songs with ferocious Gilmour/Zappa-influenced guitar playing. Colorways self-titled 2013 debut included the song Live With Me, which was chosen by WRSI 93.9 (AAA radio) listeners as the #3 song of the year.
Colorway wasted no time releasing their second album, The Black Sky Sequined, which was recorded by Mark Alan Miller and mastered by multiple Grammy award-winning engineering legend Bob Ludwig.
The ten song album features nods to rock and pop luminaries like Tom Petty, Wilco, Richard Thompson, The Black Keyes and XTC. But Colorway does so while maintaining a rough edge and original sound that aims to speak to music fans of any generation.
The first single, Come Back July was chosen by the listeners WRSI 93.9 (AAA radio) as one of the top ten songs of the year.
In July of 2015 bassist Matt Clegg and drummer Riley Godleski joined the group.
