An amazing professional experience. We are a country music show with a dash of comedy and at times a little bluegrass. We are an interactive band, we love to get the audience involved. We have one of the best fiddle players around and maybe in the world. You will just have to see to believe.
Johnny Cochran can play any instrument with strings but his heart belongs to the fiddle. He has also been known to pick up the acoustic guitar, upright bass, dobro, banjo and even the mandolin. Child prodigy Johnny Cochran began his musical career at the age of three and by time he was four he was performing for the public on WWVA’S live Radio Show and “The Wheeling Jamboree” broadcast from the old Capital Theatre in Wheeling, West Virginia. Johnny began performing with his father, Frank Cochran and soon his sister and three brothers joined in to form the bluegrass and country band known as “The Cochran Family”. Hailing from Diana, West Virginia, The Cochran Family traveled extensively during the 1970’s. With his ability to play any instrument with strings Johnny found his heart playing the fiddle and helped to build a fan following. Over the course of his career Johnny’s tremendous talent has led him to play with legendary icons including George Jones, Johnny Paycheck and Lynn Anderson.
