About Sturgill Simpson
The highly anticipated release of Passage Du Desir in 2024 marked the beginning of a new era for Johnny Blue Skies – after promising to release only five studio albums under the name Sturgill Simpson. The album has received the most glowing reviews of Simpson's already widely lauded career—including from Rolling Stone who calls the album "brilliant" and GQ who describes it as an "instant classic"—and was produced by Johnny Blue Skies and David Ferguson and recorded at Clement House Recording Studio in Nashville, TN and Abbey Road Studios in London, England.
Johnny Blue Skies and his band—Kevin Black (bass), Robbie Crowell (keys), Laur Joamets (guitar) and Miles Miller (drums)—made their long awaited return to the road in Fall 2024 with the “Why Not? Tour” which included stops at L.A.'s The Greek Theatre, Washington State's The Gorge Amphitheater, Lexington's Rupp Arena, Chicago's Salt Shed (two nights), Queens' Forest Hills Stadium and Nashville's Bridgestone Arena among many more. He also headlined Outside Lands and Austin City Limits Music Festival.
