Southern Festivals
Featured Festival

Former drummer or percussionist and backup vocalist from a host of bands nobody ever heard of, except maybe a few! For instance, the Belairs, McCoys, Us Too Group, Acuisticats, Surge, Brian Green and Austin White, to name a few.

Johnny has a deep history as an entertainer dating back to childhood (singing old country ditties with his parents and some locals at Honky Tonks and taverns around Cincinnati). As a teen Johnny excelled as a drummer and was fortunate to perform with a few national acts, getting a taste of stardom. In his mid 20’s while in New Orleans, Johnny experienced a good taste of jazz, blues and zydeco, and teamed with many local groups performing in and around the French Quarter, Fat City and regional festivals. New Orleans soon became too much fun for Johnny (the bars wouldn't close!), so family ties lead him to Jacksonville, the home of Southern Rock.

Johnny performs regularly around Marathon and the Keys. The local venues are always eager to have him on stage to pack to the dance floor with his arrangements of hot covers and groovin’ originals. Johnny recently appeared with Rick Derringer, Edgar Winter and 38 Special festival that drew thousands of people. He closed his show leaving the fans screaming for another encore! Johnny and his band is the #1 act to come out of the Florida keys.
