Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with Johnny Rzeznik from the Goo Goo Dolls. Johnny and (bassist/vocalist) Robby Takac formed Goo Goo Dolls in Buffalo, New York in 1986, and since then, they’ve had 19 top ten singles on various charts, and wrote some of the biggest hits you’ve ever heard with songs like “Name – Broadway – Slide - Black Balloon - and Iris,” which held the number one spot for 18 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay… In this episode you’re gonna hear us talk about how John grew enough confidence, persistence, and defiance to eventually become the lead singer for the band, the importance of vulnerability and gratitude, the beauty of longevity, how he keeps his voice in shape, making an emotional connection with the audience, and much much more…
