“Go Away, Rona!” Song and Video Released

OWOSSO -- Mid-Michigan based singer-songwriter Johnny Z announces the music release of “Go Away, Rona!”, on all major streaming and download platforms. In addition to the song release, a music video has been created and is available on the artist’s YouTube channel.
Affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, as we all are, Johnny has not been idle, making productive use of the past six months by writing songs in a variety of styles, encompassing acoustic folk and acoustic pop, and through to this newest song, an intense musical statement reflective of our tension filled existence.
Inspiration for the song came from a casual Facebook post, by one of Johnny Z’s friend and fellow musician, lamenting the inability to perform with his bandmates, attributing this isolation to the Coronavirus. From this posting, Johnny recognized the potential for a title to a new song and it began to take form. The lyrics contain phrases which have entered our daily lexicon and imagery that we’ve come to find common place.
The words and music were written by Johnny Stephen Zawacki, his most recent in a string of 10 songs he’s penned since the beginning of the pandemic, and it’s a bit of a departure from his past and most recent writing genres. “Rona” is best described as post-metal pop, the latter incorporates a style which keeps the song very accessible and engaging to the casual listener. It’s fleshed out with the musical artistry of the writer, where he has social distanced in his home studio, relying only on himself for all singing and performances, and consists of multiple guitars, bass and percussion.
In conjunction with the release of the music streaming and download options, a music video has been created by Johnny Z, a natural tie-in, for him, since he owns and operates Michigan Video Services, and is adept at the compiling and editing of video. Interspersed with recording performance footage, the viewer will entertained with the familar, including familiar individuals and images gathered from the public domain and beyond.
“Go Away, Rona!”, is available to stream or download on all major platforms, including Amazon Music, Apple iTunes Music, Spotify and many more, worldwide.
