Harpin' Jonny breathes a mouthful of life into his harmonica!

I'm now available for harmonica lessons, so shoot me an email!

   Howdy, thanks for stoppin by my site. I’ve enjoyed playin' and listenin' to different styles of harmonica for about 30 yrs. now, Man, it doesn’t seem like I am that old to me. Living in Santa Cruz and loving music has been a great hub to meet many of my heroes on harmonica, including: Toots Thielemans, Norton Buffalo, Rod Piazza, Lee Oskar, Charlie Musselwhite, and Tom Ball. I’ve also got to sit in and play with many of my favorite musicians notably of K-Pig Radio Fame, including: Robert Earl Keen, Todd Snider, and Paul Thorn. But most of all I enjoy playing with tthree groups of guys, The Primadons, the Groovehounds and the Larry Hosford Band (click here). I do enjoy sitting in with Santa Cruz local bands whenever I get the chance, be they The Harmony Grits, or The Devil Makes Three, Stormin' Norman and the Cyclones, or Extra Large. Check out the site to see the Primadons, Groovehounds and my calendar to see where we’re playing, and of course, if you don’t have my C.D., click on over there and get it. You’ll love it! I’d love to hear from you if you’d like to e-mail me. You can also click on a video of Larry Hosford, Ken Kraft, and I at “Arden’s Garden” a T.V. show we did last year. We have a large gallery of pictures, and we will be updating the page regularly.

Thanks for the visit, enjoy!
Harmonically yours, Harpin' Jonny
