About the band:

The music of Small Blind Johnny has been over 100 years in the making. The music of field hollers and barn dances. Juke joints, freight trains and hobo jungles.

Small Blind Johnny, the band, has been in the making since their teens. Milwaukee was fertile ground. Pollinated by the folk and electrified blues traveling up Highway 41 from Chicago, they were inspired by the Blues greats and the Brew Town musicians who learned from the best.

Many great players have passed through Small Blind Johnny's ranks, and some have passed on, but the band endeavors on their quest to pay homage to, and capture as best they can, the heartbeat and soul of the roots music they love.

Mark Shanahan (guitar and vocals) channels the alchemy of wood, steel strings and vacuum tubes into nuanced lead guitar, balanced with the colors and textures of rhythm guitar and bottleneck slide. Mark's distinctive vocal style evokes heartfelt, blue-eyed soul.
