Independent Music Award winning guitarist, F. Alex Johnson's band, Colorway is an original trio from right here in Northampton, Massachusetts. The band plays rootsy, pop-rock songs infused with inventive, energetic and melodic lead guitar. Colorway's second album, The Black Sky Sequined (mastered by engineering legend Bob Ludwig) was called "One of the finest rock albums of 2015" by Ric Albano (Modern Rock Review) and Diffuser's Chuck Armstrong called the band's single "Come Back July" "impossibly catchy" when they premiered the video in 2015. Colorway has recently opened sold out shows for Foreigner, The Yardbirds, Delta Deep (feat. members of Def Leppard and Stone Temple Pilots), Ian Hunter and Television's Richard Lloyd (who called the band "amazing and inspiring"). The trio was also included in the 2016 Green River Festival which Rolling Stone named a "must see" music fest.
Though the easy way to describe the style of music is rootsy, pop-rock, don't be fooled. The band can jam, and are convincing audiences far and wide that it's possible to extend the boundaries of the traditional four minute song and still have it stuck in your head all day.
The band is comprised of Alex Johnson on guitar and vocals, Matt Clegg on bass and Riley Godleski on drums and backup vocals.
