If you tried, you couldn't make up a story this good: legally blind kid grows up in a trailer home in rural Maine. A guitar prodigy, he tours with the family band starting at age 8, wins local and regional competitions, moves to Nashville, ends up dropping jaws all over town, doing sessions with Ricky Skaggs, Toby Keith, Randy Travis, Janie Fricke and many more, and gets signed by Steve Vai when his manager leaves a demo snippet on Steve's voicemail box. But indeed, this is true the story of Johnny Hiland. He made his solo debut on August 10th 2004 with his self-titled album on Vai's Favored Nations label, and now (November 2007) releases his second album “Loud and Proud," featuring his road band. While talent ran in his family from past generations, he felt a ferocious devotion to his instrument, often practicing long hours into the night before being ordered into bed. By the time he was seven years old, he had already performed on local tv, and formed a family band, with his brother and sister, called “The Three J's”. As youngsters, they toured extensively throughout New England winning the “Talent America” competition and joining the “Downeast Country Music Association”. They won numerous awards and had a lot of fun as Johnny flourished into a young entertainer and multi-instrumentalist.
