About Sturgill Simpson

Respected, beloved and fiercely independent, Sturgill Simpson made his highly anticipated return to music this year with the release of the full-length album Passage Du Desir under a new name: Johnny Blue Skies. The eight-song album was produced by Johnny Blue Skies and David Ferguson and recorded at Clement House Recording Studio in Nashville, Tennessee, and Abbey Road Studios in London, England.

Released to overwhelming acclaim, GQ calls the album “an instant classic,” while Pitchfork named it “Best New Music,” proclaiming, “expertly balances cosmic and outlaw country and reintroduces himself as the premier Nashville outsider.” Additionally, Rolling Stone declares, “a brilliant exploration of metamodern heartache,” and Paste asserts, “the album’s only imperfection is that it ends.”

Since his debut, Simpson has released five full-length studio albums — 2013’s High Top Mountain, 2014’s Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, 2016’s A Sailor’s Guide to Earth, 2019’s Sound & Fury and 2021’s The Ballad of Dood and Juanita — along with the 2020 projects Cuttin’ Grass Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Throughout his singular career, Simpson has relentlessly pushed against expectations, earning widespread acclaim and countless accolades, including a Grammy Award in 2017 for Best Country Album and six Grammy nominations across four genres: country, rock, bluegrass and Americana.
