WElcome!
I am a professional musician based out of North Pittsburgh and have been active in the Pittsburgh music scene for over 25 years. I play from a catalogue of hundreds of covers from TEN decades of music from the 30s through today. I cover a wide variety of genres from classic, to country, to contemporary, and even a full Irish pub set. I can book solo, as a duo, or as a three-piece band and aim to please a crowd, whether it's by accommodating requests, getting them dancing and singing, or just providing chill background tunes. We offer a variety of music and professionalism that sets us apart.

Margaritaville at PA Market.mp4As a solo act, I can provide hours of eclectic cover tunes that explore a broad range of popular music. I use a loop pedal and multiple instruments to fill out my sound. I take audience requests as much as possible and aim to please whether the mood calls for background music or full-on audience participation.

Skipper J Duo
Most recently, I have been playing with an upright bassist/vocalist. Together we make up the Skipper J Due and have polished our playing for the past 10 years to include a wide variety of covers with harmonies and multiple instrument pairings. Check out the videos below for some live snippets. We aim to please a crowd from being background music to sing alongs to getting them dancing.

Skipper J Trio
I am a founding member of "The Skipper Johnson Band," a local trio has been playing local venues for the past ten years. In years past, I've also been with Acoustic Jamage and a celtic rock project called Bad Strad. A few times a year we polish off the rust and get together for a show or two. I also play with many other area musicians, so you never really know who might show up to jam!
