us_Folk_ctd3 Years ago Johnny Fountain was a guest on WMPG, his buds , spearheaded by recording artist & friend Dominic Lavoie assembled this post Johnny's untimely demise.
The album is filled with great songs & sound's like Johnny put it together with them. This is one of those well crafted gems of an album that blossomed from the tragedy of a life cut short. Props to the Friends of Johnny team, we miss you Johnny!

about

The Grand Adventure is an album that celebrates life and was created in after-life. Johnny Fountain, Portland's rambling raconteur, left our earthly plane in December 2015 after a battle with cancer robbed him of his body. But his music remained. As his ashes were scattered across the ocean and mountains, his final recordings were unearthed.

Under the musical direction of his friends and local luminaries, Dominic Lavoie (Dominic & the Lucid, ShaShaSha) and Dan Boyden (Sister Sparrow & the Dirty Birds, Jason Spooner Band), Johnny's original songs -- featuring his voice and guitar -- have been fully realized with contributions from over a dozen musicians, including friends, former bandmates, and his own sister.

Now available digitally and on limited-edition vinyl, The Grand Adventure captures the very spirit of life - the highs & lows, the wrong turns & the perfect timing - in a dozen songs that could only come from one man: our friend and yours, Johnny Fountain.
