Johnny Zirkel’s debut album, The Story So Far, just dropped and features 11 tracks that seamlessly merge modern rock, pop-punk, and R&B elements. With guest features from Joshua Roberts (Magnolia Park), Outline in Color, and SayWeCanFly, the album delivers a fresh, dynamic take on alternative music.
“For the longest time I never felt confident enough to perform under my own name. I always felt the need to either be in a band, or go under a band name. That all changed a few months ago when I felt like I needed to be presenting my songs truly as my own story and journey, and not one that is hidden behind the image of a band. I chose these songs because they reflect the various stages I’ve gone through as an artist and person. These songs will provide the foundation for what is to come, and the type of music and stories that will be released moving forward.” -Johnny Zirkel
Between Johnny Zirkel’s powerful storytelling, emotionally charged performances, and previous accomplishments with The Wildfires Projekt and Sounds of the Underground (airing on CBS, AmazonPrime, and SamsungTV), he has already begun carving a unique space in the music industry that goes beyond the typical DIY artist.
His genre-blending sound and thought-provoking lyrics tackle themes like mental health, loss, personal growth, and even video games (cause why not?), capturing the complexities of human emotions with honesty and rawness. Driven by relentless passion, Zirkel’s mission is to connect with listeners, inspire resilience, and create unforgettable experiences—both through his music and the energy of his live shows.
