Dave Johnson - Inequality Boulevard (2022)

Dave Johnson's new album - INEQUALITY BLVD – tackles subject matter ranging from the maltreatment and oppression of refugees and immigrants through to how the ever-increasing socio-economic divide plays out on the streets of our communities. Insightful, thought provoking, and brimming with compassion. Recorded at Sundown Studios on the outskirts of Fremantle in Western Australia and co-produced with Elliot Smith, INEQUALITY BLVD sees Johnson channelling raw emotion and insightful storytelling into a groove ladened acoustic alchemy. The eight-track recording features a who’s who of Western Australian musical elite. With Johnson on acoustic guitar, vocals, mandolin, and cittern, the recording includes the talents of Tony Bourke (The Waifs/Eskimo Joe) on piano, Ben Franz (The Waifs/Mick Thomas) on upright bass, Luke Dux (The Kill Devil Hills/ThornBird) on electric guitar, Ian Simpson (Paul Kelly/Slim Dusty) on banjo, Phoebe Corke (Tijuana Cartel/Hussy Hicks) on violin, and Elliot Smith (Dave Brewer/The Waifs) on drums.
