About
Do you really want to read some boring biography? Do you really care where Johnny came from or how he got started? Bottom line is, Johnny heard his first Buddy Holly record as a boy and hasn't been the same since!
Today, he's a polished musician, singer and quite simply, an outstanding entertainer. (I'm his manager, I can say that.)
As a testament to his ability as a performer, Johnny often shares the stage with guitar legend Tommy Allsup, the Grammy award winner who played with Buddy Holly (and lost the coin toss to Richie Valens and didn't get on the plane that crashed.) Tommy also performed for years with Bob Wills' Texas Playboys, and on over 9,000 recording sessions!
Johnny has performed at the famous Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, where Buddy played his last concert. He has performed for members of Buddy's family. And now, he'd like to play for you.
