Guitarist Johnny A. was born in Malden, MA and grew up in the North Shore area of Boston, where he led bands that played every major and not-so-major venue in the area as well as a host of roadside bars in the New England area. He eventually chose to become a sideman, playing with such artists as Bobby Whitlock, Mingo Lewis, and J. Geils frontman Peter Wolf. In his six year stint as Wolf's guitarist, Johnny A. recorded on the albums Fool's Parade" (1999) and the one which he co-produced with Wolf, 1996's Long Line. Johnny A. was also a member of Wolf's House Party 5 band and various incarnations of his acoustic ensembles, which toured extensively throughout the United States and Japan.
In late 1999, Johnny A. placed himself front and center with an all-new guitar instrumental project and album, titled sometime tuesday morning on Aglaophone Records. The album included original material as well as covers of the Beatles' "Yes It Is," Jimmy Webb's "Wichita Lineman" and Willie Cobbs' blues classic "You Don't Love Me." The album was embraced by radio stations, critics and fans alike. ~ Ann Wickstrom, Rovi

One of the best live guitarists I've ever seen. If you get a chance to see him, don't miss out. His playing is ecclectic, his chord fingerings are unique, tone is mindblowing and he can say alot with one note or shred with the best, and I mean the best as in Hendrix, Vaughn, Page et al. Nice guy too, very approachable.
I saw him perform last week and his technique, tone and soulful approach were stunning. His band is also superb, they are frighteningly tight as a live trio.

Johnny A is personable, beyond talented and if you ever get the chance to see his stage show , do NOT miss it!
I heard him for the first time on the Johnny Hiland station here. He was playing honky tonk (Get Inside), very pleasant sound. Good control, good phrasing. I like him a lot. Thanks Pandora.

A+! Every time I hear his playing I have to look up from my dull spreadsheet and say: Wow! Who was that? Chops chops chops! He's got em. Jazz, blues, salsa, tex mex, rock all in the mix in a single song . . . and it works. A-mazing.

Johnny A is one of the greatest guitar players to date. Up ther with the likes of Eric Clapton,SRV, Jeff Beck and the like.
If you are a guitar player, do yourself a favor and see him live. you won't believe your ears or your eyes. Unmatched tone and style.

In addition to being a nice person, Johnny A is an accomplished guitar player and composer; he is one of the guitar greats of our time! Buy the songs, see the shows! He does not disappoint.
Johnny A is SO smooth and tasty, but never TOO slick.
He can also really crank - forceful without overpowering or overplaying. Particularly toward the end of his live shows you'll catch him jamming on Hendrix as well as just about everything else.
