About Me


This is the official MySpace of Jonny Smokes. Here is where you are most likely to track me down, since I list all of my projects and shows here as a central location. I perform as a solo multi-instumentalist, using a loop sampler and a bunch of effects pedals to build entire songs live, layering drums, bass, guitars and vocals right before your eyes and ears!
In addition to a steady solo performance schedule, I play guitar and sing with my variety cover band The Smoking Lounge, perform the part of Jerry Cantrell in an Alice In Chains tribute act called Jar Of Flies, and play guitar and sing with Rane Stone and The Black Sunshine Band. Busy, busy, busy!
I'd like to thank everyone who helps and supports my endeavors. I am truly fortunate to be able to work full time as a musician and actually feed myself! I am also blessed with the company of some of the most tallented and kind hearted performers around, in all of my various bands. The best part is that all of my musical projects continue to evolve, adding new material every month, and consistantly delivering great entertainment that keeps fans coming back for more! Cheers to you all!
