Here's the latest from The Johnny Nocturne Band:
- - KPLU airplay creates regional hit for Nocturne Band
- For over a year KPLU in Tacoma has been playing the Johnny Nocturne Bands "Blues Volume" CD. In particular, "There Is Something On Your Mind" an instrumental track that features just John's tenor accompanied by bass and guitar only. So smooth that one critic accused us of selling out to the smooth jazz industry! I wish! Everytime KPLU spins the track we have a spike in our mail orders. Thanks KPLU!

- July 2005 the Nocturne Band is scheduled to make it's 11th appearance at the prestigious Umbria Jazz Festival in Perugia, Italy. We love Italy and this is a great music festival.
