Trout Lake native releases album

Johnny Young, an award-winning Nashville recording artist who grew up in Trout Lake and spent his formative years gigging around the Columbia River Gorge with the country-rock bands Crossfire and HookahStew, has released a self-titled album, available at participating ACE Hardware stores including Hood River Supply and Sawyers ACE in The Dalles.

“Like many in the music industry, his 2020 tour dates evaporated with the onset of the pandemic, prompting him to switch gears (and area codes), in favor of Nashville’s historic Music Row,” said a press release.
