hi all;
besides playing bass for barrelfish and crumpled napkin, i've got my main drum gig in the vinny johnson band. i haven't talked about it much because we have been taking all this time to get ready to come out, as callahan would put it. we're having our official first gig playing a couple of hours at elixir lounge in san jose (located inside south first billiards). we've been compared to stevie ray vaughn mixed with santana and lenny kravitz. what's different about us is we mix a few different styles here and there from celtic to reggae to funk to whatever else fits the song. while the band is new we have decades of experience that add maturity and dynamics into the well-crafted songs.
saturday june 24th we're playing for about two hours with a break in between (or not, we've been known to keep going for the fun of it). there's this pool hall see...
the Vinny Johnson Band at
Elixir (the bar inside South First Billiards)
420(!) South 1st. St
San Jose, CA 95113
408-294-7800
