Winnipeg Sun CD Review

Johnny Broadway may have been raised in the shadows of Motown, but don't expect any Berry Gordy antics on the former Hamiltonian's debut Discoverers. This is strictly singer-songwriter stuff, although Broadway shows plenty of pluck and charisma. Armed with an uber-earnest voice and an arsenal of heart-on-sleeve, indie-pop confessionals, he bounces between wistful melancholy and sunny optimism so deftly he even manages to pull off wince-worthy lyrics like "I'm such a puppy for your loveliness." No easy feat.

-- David Schmeichel, The Winnipeg Sun
