For 30 years Johnny and the Headhunters have played authentic Blues and Rock n Rool for enthusiastic audiences who love to Dance.
their new album “that’s allI need” is number one on the RMR charts and is playing all around the world.
Over the course of his travels, Johnny became friends with a fine harmonica player named Larry Wise. Larry was known for touring with famous blues men and introduced Johnny to Louisiana Red. The three became known as “Nobody’s Children” and began a whirlwind tour of the US and Canada. Nobody’s Children toured, played festivals and shared the stage with greats such as Lightnin’ Hopkins, Big Mama Thornton, Memphis Slim, Nina Simone, Taj Mahal, Duke Robillard, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Albert Collins, Albert King, Big Moose Walker (Earl Hooker’s piano player), Muddy Waters, Big Walter, Pinetop Perkins, Luther Allison and many more. Upon coming home in 1982, Johnny was asked to replace the guitarist in the band that Steve Guyger had started in Philadelphia called The Excellos. The Excellos played places in Philadelphia such as J.C. Dobbs with bands like The Stray Cats opening for them. Johnny moved back to Washington D.C. to form Johnny and the Headhunters, which is now a trio with guitar, bass and drums. The Headhunters have performed for 20 years in and around the Nation’s Capital, along the whole East Coast as well as popular in the club scene for many years in Manhattan especially at “Manny’s Car Wash,” a favorite Upper East Side blues hot spot.
