"Be GOOD to yourself & buy some of these Rockin' tunes now!"


I'm Johnny G. d'Artenay. This is my story and I'm sticking to it! I play upright doghouse bass, Fender electric bass, rhythm guitar, sing lead and back up vocals. I was a founding member of the locally award-winning San Diego band, Hot Rod Lincoln. As a key member for better than 13 years, we toured throughout the U.S., Europe, and Japan, released 5 independent CD’s, and backed up many great artists on stage and in the studio. I'm humbled and honored to have performed on stage with some American music legends such as Chuck Berry, Billy Zoom, Johnny Rivers, Billy Lee Reiley, Sha Na Na, Robert Gordon, Brian Setzer, and more. This year (2007) I released the debut CD from my roots country honky tonk band Big Rig Deluxe called Semi-Garage Band on our own independent SCRAM HIPPIE label.
Right now I'm the front man for Rock n Roll Rangers, Big Rig Deluxe, the CASH KINGS Johnny Cash Tribute Band, The Hayriders Tribute to the Louisiana Hayride Radio show, Sunday mornings I play worship at Scott Memorial Community Church, I am on an Christian musical outreach team with Jerry "Hot Rod" DeMink, I play upright bass in Jump Jones as well as in Blue Largo. I know it sounds like a lot and it is, but I still find some time to fill out my schedule by subing on gigs when I can. It's a great living and my beautiful wife Diana believes in me and that's worth a million bucks right there.
