Johnny Heaton, (Guitar, Bass, Banjo & Vocals) I work in several areas of music – live performance, production, songwriting, recording,

mastering and graphic design for CD's album covers, and promotional items. My main

instrument is acoustic guitar but I also play electric guitar, bass, dobro and just enough

banjo, drums and percussion to be somewhat comical. I am a guitarist, performing musician,

producer, songwriter and artist. I have been playing professionally since 1971

Being born and raised in Waterford, Michigan (just outside of Detroit) has had a big

influence on my style and music. From the early local rock scene featuring Michigan bands

like the Bob Seger System, The Amboy Dukes, and The Frost, to Motown from the beginning

with Little Stevie Wonder, the Supremes and the Funk Brothers this music all left it’s

impression on me.

During my career, I have performed with bands that have opened shows for Bob Seeger and

the Silver Bullet Band, Spirit, Ten Years After, The Rockets, and The MC5. While living in

California I played and recorded with Jeff Gold and the Travelers, Raspin Stewart and the

Restless Rhythms as well as playing solo shows at places like the Troubadour, and Mommas

Pajamas

As a singer / songwriter I sing from the depth of my heart, and my songs tell of this incredible journey through life. And whether playing electric guitar, bass or acoustic guitar, the music has power and energy. From sensitive to insane, my approach is to support the lyrics with the power of the music.
