About

PETRI DISH: "A Culture ... Of Groove" - is a duo of multi-instrumentalists, Theo Czuk and Jeff Johnston. PETRI DISH performs re-imagined covers and originals honed from decades of performing rock, jazz, R&B and blues.

Jeff JJ Johnston is a multi-instrumental (flute, saxophone, piano, guitar, flugelhorn, vocals) wiz who has performed with such music luminaries as Stephen Stills, Bonnie Raitt, Bo Diddley and The Coasters as well as jazz legends Randy Brecker, Red Rodney, Ira Sullivan & Marcus Roberts.

Theo Czuk locks down the groove (vocals, piano, guitar, harmonica) with a resume featuring music performance, songwriting and an author. Theo has released 4 critically acclaimed CDs and 2 award-winning novels. Besides performing live as a musician, Theo lectures on language, literature, and jazz.

Additional booking notes

Technically a simple affair, EPIPHONIC needs only a small stage footprint to deliver a big sound. Our only need is an electrical outlet.

We are a self contained unit capable of providing everything needed for a professional performance including PA and Piano.
