Piano, vocals, guitar. Johnny is an award winning singer-songwriter whose original songs are influenced by the Beatles, Billy Joel, James Taylor, Sting, Paul Simon and John Mayer. Johnny grew up in Miami Florida and now resides in New York City. In addition to wowing the crowds at his own performances, he has shared the stage with such diverse luminaries as Paul McCartney, Michael Feinstein, Stephen Schwartz, Ann Hampton Callaway, Dave Koz and Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders. Between concert tours, writing and recording sessions with the Johnny Rodgers Band, Johnny tours the world with Liza Minnelli and her orchestra as featured guest artist.
Johnny Rodgers Band was formed in New York City in 2003 to add musical depth to the road-tested original songs. Johnny pulled together accomplished musicians with vast experience who were familiar with performing in all styles from pop to jazz and classic rock.
Two years after the bands formation, the Johnny Rodgers Band's debut album, Box of Photographs was released. The songs take you on side trips to places like upbeat New Orleans and Memphis soul. The album includes Grammy-winner Randy Brecker and his legendary sound on several jazz style cuts on the twelve-track album. Two EPs in 2008 mark their second musical release with "Bound Together" propelling Johnny Rodgers Band into the Indie Pop genre – and includes a new Christmas song sure to become a classic. Johnny also wrote and recorded a big band swing duet with Liza Minnelli that is included on the "Let's Make A Date" EP.
Johnny Rodgers Band attracts new audiences at the clubs, festivals, and private events where they perform across the country. They have performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, The Bottom Line, Birdland, The Metropolitan Room and The Jazz Standard in New York City, and clubs like Ryles in Cambridge MA, Arturo Sandoval Jazz Club and Van Dykes on Miami Beach, as well at many festivals like Festival Miami at the University of Miami.
