Johnny Six-String is a little-known singer-songwriter who moved to Music Banter City less than a year ago from Washington state. Over the past year, he's been traveling around MB City performing at artsy bars and independent music centers with an acoustic guitar and the occasional acquaintance on bass or drums. He reached local notoriety in his hometown for releasing 2 self-produced, self-released, self-sold albums which sold fairly well thanks to a handful of enthusiastic local record stores and the internet. His vocal range and tambric variability has caught the eye of several reviewers and critics. His normally mellow voice can jump to a grunting yell and back again before you know it. However, his music mostly remains in a chill, happy-go-lucky manor, although his lyrics are quite cynical if one reads between the lines. His instrumental skills are passable, but as critic Edward McVauls said, "...you don't need to be a Jimi Hendrix to make good folk-pop". Johnny Six-String claims he is considering going in a more "commercially-friendly direction" if a record company would like to sign him. He hopes to get a job soon so he can record the songs he's been working on since his arrival in MB City.
