Greg Johnson’s 8th studio album Seven Day Cure is out on 8 September with him embarking on a national album release tour throughout October.



Seven Day Cure is just what the doctor ordered! It is full of gems featuring Greg’s insightful song writing – It is a quintessential Greg Johnson record.

Greg says “this album has taken twice as long as any previous to make simply because of the additional attention to detail and tweaking that's been going on... it is sounding stunning, the production is not only world-class but probably better than most Alien Civilizations could manage as well, certainly better than anything done by the Martian Landers.”

His first single ‘Looking Out On Monday’ is currently out on radio with a video coming soon.

Throughout October Greg will be touring his new album with his intimate and very successful – ‘The Cocktail Club’. These evenings are a great opportunity for people to experience Greg and his band in a small intimate club vibe. Rotating guests and surprises have made the evenings legendary and fondly remembered.

Seven Day Cure will be released nationwide on 8 September and tickets for the tour are on sale.

See your local retailer, music downloader or ring Ticketmaster for tickets.

July sees Greg's return to New Zealand after this year's International Festival sell-out sensation. The charming lad is joined by equally amiable fellow musicians Ted Brown, Mark Hughes and of course, the indispensable Wayne Bell.

The tour starts with two nights at Bar Bodega – this Sun 18th July and Mon 19th July with a two hour show that features material from his acclaimed new Album 'Here Comes The Caviar' and of course, all our old favourites. For all the dates, scroll on down.

But the shows don’t stop at Wellington. Greg is doing 9 shows only before he returns to Venice Beach, - his home away from home for the last couple of years. His warm songs and intimate style have secured him as one of New Zealand's favourite artists and Greg has quite deservedly earned the reputation as one of our most prolific and talented songwriters.

"He can make an audience laugh and cry within a matter of seconds..." Listener 2003

The 'Here Comes The Caviar' Tour is New Zealand’s last chance to see Greg and his Band before he heads back to Los Angeles indefinitely. You won’t want to miss it, so get your tickets now as they’re strictly limited!
Tickets available from Ticketek, Venue or Usual Outlets.

Greg Johnson's US Label In Trouble

Greg Johnson has completed his 4-track EP under his deal with Santa Monica based Immergent Records just in time!

The label's parent company, 5.1 Entertainment, has reportedly struck hard times and has decided to get out of the 'pop-rock' music line, dropping Greg and four other recently signed artists.

"For a midsize indie label, the swing was just too wide on how much money you have to spend to get that elusive pop/rock hit," says 5.1 Chairman John Trickett.

Greg's manager Michelle Bakker says that while it is certainly an inconvenience, the timing may be fortuitous. "The deal has really worked well to this point because it allowed Greg to get his feet in the soil here in the US, and witha growing fan base and a beautiful new EP, negotiations for another label are going very well, helped along by the fact that we are placing his songs easily into American TV and film."

Greg and guitarist Ted Brown will be back briefly in Auckland to play the Coast Bar on July 31 and August 1 before returning to the US.
