He had me tapping my feet more than I ever had at some arena rock concerts.” Ricky Flake, music critic for the Mississippi Sun Herald, in his review of Johnny’s first cd, tells his readers, “…solid collection of 10 blues based songs. Johnny’s guitar leads are clean and crisp, with historical antecedents readers with more blues knowledge can apply.”Johnny Fung is a Grammy nominated international recording artist, who recently paired with Lady Patrice and together they front a new high energy party band taking the Mississippi Gulf Coast by storm , “REWIND”!!LADY PATRICE Considered by many to be a leading lady of soul music, Patrice Green, known as Lady Patrice, has fashioned an enviable career over the past 15+ years through a combination of class, grace and plain old great singing.Lady Patrice made national history as the last person to perform in the New Orleans Superdome before the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.
