Johnny Microwave
Johnny Microwave is:
•A luscious, melodic, guitar-driven sound
•Highly original and evocative lyrics and harmonies
•The musical love-child of guitarist Steve C. and singer Cat Miller
Cat & Steve (both completely coincidentally from Cleveland, Ohio) met in Nashville in 2001 and immediately discovered an unusually compatible musical bond as writers. Steve is a guitarist with a very personal playing style, while Cat’s influences as a singer are eclectic: classical, pop, and singer-songwriter rock.
The songs that emerge are unique: Richard Thompson meets Neil Young meets Crowded House--is there a name for that?--filtered through a warm and exhilarating female vocal presence a la Aimee Mann and Sam Phillips. Wide-ranging influences, from American roots to classic pop to Eastern music, are melted down and blended into something new in Johnny Microwave’s songs, and the result is a musical cocktail you'll want to drink up.
