Johnny Elliott

About Me

I am Johnny Elliott and I am a singer/songwriter and guitar player from the South Jersey/ Philadelphia area. I play mostly blues and blues based rock music which includes originals, blues and blues-rock covers. I have my first CD out titled "Johnny Elliott" which features originals, some of which are featured on this site. I just formed my own band, "The Johnny Elliott Band" with Paul Sehnan on Bass and John Shaugnessy on drums. I'm also the slide guitarist for local Blues band, "A Few Dollars More". I've been "under the influence" of many great music artists (see influences). I'm going around promoting it at various music venues, concert dates are posted on this site.
