The name ‘Johnny A.’ might not be mainstream, but there’s no doubt that it’s synonymous with guitar. Bitten at an early age by the desire to perform like his idols (Clapton, Beck and Page), he never relented.

By the 1970’s, he was forming bands in the New England area, drawing attention from established musicians, like Derek and the Dominos’ keyboardist Bobby Whitlock and Doug Clifford of Creedence Clearwater Revival. Johnny A. became Music Director of J. Geils Band singer Peter Wolf’s outfit, playing on several tours and co-producing Wolf’s 1996 album, Long Line. Eventually, he was even asked to join The Yardbirds as their lead guitarist in 2015.

All this is to say that Johnny A. has the chops, and that’s not to mention his prolific solo career. Spanning three full-length albums, Johnny A. has earned a Grammy Award nomination, the honor of Boston Music Awards, “Blues Artist of the Year 2010,” and a spot in the revered Boston Music Hall of Fame.

100% of profits from this series will go to Veterans organizations in the area dealing with Vets impacted by PTSD, addiction, and homelessness related issues.
