Sturgill Simpson is bringing back his Johnny Blue Skies moniker for a new album, Mutiny After Midnight, due out on March 13th.

Sturgill Simpson will be releasing a new album, Passage Du Desir, on July 12th under the moniker Johnny Blue Skies. 

Sturgill Simpson has canceled his upcoming shows due to “hemorrhage/ruptured” vocal cords:

Turns out I did in fact unfortunately hemorrhage /rupture my vocal chords after all. I am currently getting the best treatment available and should fully recover but its gonna be a long hot minute before I can return to stage.

I just wanted to turn this thing back on for about 15 seconds to say Im sorry to everyone that had tickets to the remaining shows and to thank everyone that has supported me over the years..its been an incredibly fun, rewarding, and educational journey.

I played all the venues I dreamed about playing as a kid, met all my heroes, even became friends with most of them, and got to work and play with some of the finest musicians on the planet over the years.

But on the bright side, now I can finally really focus on other pursuits and areas of passionate interest..like becoming the best hitman I can be.

Sturgill Simpson will release The Ballad of Dood and Juanita on August 20th. Pre-orders are now up.

Sturgill Simpson will release his first bluegrass album, Cuttin’ Grass Vol. 1 — The Butcher Shoppe Sessions, this Friday, October 16th.
