'Simply put, Johnny Reid, is an incredible talent. The songs he writes are touching people; they're real and from the heart.' said Maher. 'As a singer, Johnny's has an unmistakable unique vocal quality that separates him from the crowd. We catch all of his vocals live in the room with the band with everybody grooving at the same time…what a concept.'

Reid's songs have been recorded by such artists as Emerson Drive and Gaelic Storm, and his song, 'Play it as it Lies,' was featured on the CBS telecast of the 2004 Master's golf tournament.
