Artist description Johnny B has been around the blues scene since he was a boy growing up in Mississippi. He first discovered B.B. King at the age of 15, and spent many lost Saturday nights playing the blues for free in the divey bars of Lynch Street in Jackson, Miss. There are a constant stream of characters in and out of the band due to the fact that Mr. B doesn't play for money and can't pay his band members. Most of them leave after a couple of weeks of smokey bar gigs and no food.

Music Style Blues

Musical Influences B.B. King, Robben Ford, Duane Allman, Kenny Neal

Similar Artists A cross between the Fabulous Thunderbirds on steroids and a drunken lounge singer.

Artist History The band is in a constant state of flux, and you never know who the players might be this week. Mr. B never has trouble getting great players to join him, but they usually leave as soon as he tries to borrow money for a little nip of MD 20-20.
