Hi Everyone...

I have posted some new tracks by the Steve Johnson Band from their "New Beginnings" CD.  These tracks represent some of the best work I have ever done and I have been very blessed to have had the opportunity to work with the multi-talented musicians and Mr. Steve Johnson himslef who I consider one of the finest singer-songwriters in the business. 

Don't forget to visit the SJB website at www.stevejohnsonband.com.

Cheers,
T.R.
