Johnny Roth: Bio & Band

Johnny Roth - Bio

Johnny Roth’s music can best be described as all instrumental, original electric blues that is fuel injected with funk, jazz and rock. His songs display a unique style with contagious melodies interwoven with tasteful slide guitar. Having extensive live performance and studio experience, Johnny eventually released his debut CD “still not talkin” in 2003. Every song on the CD was written, arranged and performed by Johnny.

In 2005 he put together an experienced line-up of musicians to form the Johnny Roth Band. This rhythm section, consisting of bass, keys and drums, has an exceptional feel for his tunes and are solid and passionate in their presentation. They are hardworking musicians who give no less than 100% at every performance.

Johnny grew up in Pennsylvania idolizing the usual guitar heroes like Hendrix, Clapton and Beck but soon fell under the spell of southern rockers Dickey Betts and Duane Allman. It was their tasteful melodic style that left a tremendous impression on him and traces of them still influence his style today.

Johnny is currently based in St. Petersburg, FL and has completed his second all instrumental CD “Vu Jah De” consisting of 8 all original tracks. CBZ

Johnny Roth Band - Rhythm Section

"Mike Schanewolf & Ron Miles comprise a rhythm section that defines the word taste. Not only do they have the experience but they have something that matters just as much - a great feel for the music. They are rock solid and versatile. It's a pleasure having them work beside me." Johnny

It has also been a pleasure to have keyboardists Bernard England and Joann Parrick lend their talents to the Johnny Roth Band.
