GRAMMY® Nominated Guitarist & Songwriter JOHNNY A. is internationally recognized for having a very successful 20+ year career as a solo artist, having anchored J. Geils Band frontman Peter Wolf and his Houseparty 5 Band for eight years. Johnny was also the touring lead guitarist for iconic British band THE YARDBIRDS (2015-18). He has shared stages and/or been featured on recordings with artists like: B.B. King, Aerosmith, Jimmie Vaughan, Robert Cray, JJ Cale, Jeff Beck, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Dr. John, Leon Russell, Eric Johnson, Peter Frampton, Stuart Kimball, and many more. “Johnny A. has quickly joined the rarified ranks of players like Jeff Beck, Bill Frisell, and Carlos Santana…” states PREMIER GUITAR. Trio includes GRAMMY® Nominated Bassist DEAN CASSELL (also the current bassist for John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, and played/recorded with Susan Tedeschi, Bo Diddley, The Radio Kings) and Acclaimed Drummer MARTY RICHARDS (Duke Robillard, J. Geils Band, Blues Brothers).
“Johnny A. has his own signature guitar…and seemingly scores of signature guitar sounds at his fingertips,” states the WASHINGTON POST. “Johnny seamlessly blends country, jazz, pop, and rock sounds similar to a slightly less fiery Les Paul or Chet Atkins, or, at times, Eric Johnson,” says GUITAR EDGE.
