John Charles "Johnny" Goudie (born October 14, 1968 in Miami, Florida, United States) is a Cuban-American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumental musician, record producer, actor, and podcaster based in Austin, Texas. During a career that has spanned four decades he has received acclaim for his unique vocals and a constantly evolving musical style with its roots in classic rock. Goudie has been the recipient of four Austin Music Awards and has fronted several successful bands including Goudie, Mr. Rocket Baby, Lovetree, Panjandrum, Liars & Saints, and the Little Champions; and has been a sideman in several other bands, notably Endochine and Skyrocket. ==Early life and music career== Raised in the Miami, Florida area, Goudie comes from a family of Cuban medical doctors. On August 5, 1982, at age 13 Johnny saw Cheap Trick in concert at the Sunrise Musical Theatre in Sunrise, Florida, which he credits with changing his life forever and inspiring him to become a musician and play in a band. Later that year Goudie started his first band, which he called ZEPHYR.〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=2000-06-06 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=David A. Cobb )〕 His family was supportive (his father had also been a singer in a band).〔 At age 16, Johnny became the guitarist of the band Cry Wolf, the side project of Carole King's guitarist Mark Hallman. On October 13, 1985, when Johnny was 16, his mother, Natalie Antonetti, was beaten over the head in her apartment. She died 18 days later. The crime went unsolved for 23 years until a tip led police to arrest Antonetti's ex-boyfriend Dennis Davis. On April 15, 2011 Davis was convicted of the murder.〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=2011-04-15 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Steve Albert )〕 Grief-stricken by the traumatic loss of his mother, Goudie channeled his grief into his music, writing 150 songs in the months following his mother's death.〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=2012-06-09 )〕 In 1988 while living in The Woodlands area outside Houston, Texas Johnny started a funk–soul band called ''Panjadrum''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography: Johnny Goudie )〕 Shortly after recording a 4-track EP entitled ''Chuck'', Panjadrum broke up in 1990, and Goudie formed another band called ''Lovetree'' as well as pursuing a side career as a solo artist.〔 In 1992 Lovetree recorded an EP entitled ''Sorry About the Drum Machine''. Lovetree's sound was influenced by rock, funk and Latin music. By 1993 Goudie had left Lovetree and moved to Austin, Texas where he fronted the rock band Mr. Rocket Baby, which included former members of Panjandrum and Lovetree.〔 The band's philosophy was to play 70s-influenced rock music while dressing and acting like they were from the 70s. Mr. Rocket Baby's first shows were opening for Davíd Garza and Bob Schneider before crowds of hundreds, and they became an instant hit in Austin. The band secured a management deal within two weeks of their first concert and began touring the country. The band also landed a weekly residency at legendary Austin club The Steamboat where they shared bills with other famed Austin acts such as Joe Rockhead, Storyville, Arc Angels, Ian Moore and Vallejo. In 1993 Mr. Rocket Baby was voted best pop band in the Austin Chronicle's readers poll, and they came in third place in voting for best new band overall. Mr. Rocket Baby released one album, ''Make Believe'', which was produced by Mark Hallman, before parting ways. At the suggestion of former Steamboat manager Danny Crooks, Mr. Rocket Baby reunited for one concert on December 6, 2014. On April 10, 1994 Johnny married Traci Campbell in Austin. The couple were married for ten years. Their divorce was the subject of many of the songs on Goudie's 2005 album ''Boy in a Box.'' After the breakup of Mr. Rocketbaby, for the next few years Johnny toured as a power trio with bassist Einar Pedersen and a drummer Kyle Schneider. The trio independently recorded an album ''Fantastic'' at Congress House Studio in Austin in 1996 with producer Billy White. In 1996-1997 Johnny played guitar for the band ''Sunshine'' and also played drums on the album ''4-Track Mind'' with the band ''Jez Spencer'', an early incarnation of Spencer Gibb's band which would become ''54 Seconds''. He also co-wrote the song "Stuck in a Hole", which ended up on Darin Murphy's 1998 album ''Solitarium''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Texas Platters )〕 as well as co-writing with Mark Addison the song "Sun Earth Moon" which appeared on ''The Borrowers'' second album ''Overcoming Gravity'' and was also featured in a commercial for The Cleveland Planetarium. In late 1997 Goudie was again working on his own material and decided to put a new band together. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Johnny Goudie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
