Zachariah and Jeremiah Johnson were born, conjoined at the head, in a Ford Truck.
Their father was an exhaust manifold.
They began making music as tots. Their first joint composition, despite the fact that they had been un-conjoined from the head, was, "Concerto for Toy Piano in C Flat", and can be found on many classical composition records throughout the North and North-Eastern portions of the South, East, and West.
They gained notoriety as a traveling duo in the 20s. They became known as 'The Brothers Johnston' due to a misprint in a newspaper. In 1928 they released a series of recordings on Okey Records. In 1929 they published a biography entitled, "Oh! The Things We've Seen, In Our Time Machine! (Or, How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Times)". The title stumped people for years. In June of 1941, Zachariah was working in the Ninth District of an electric company, and it was at this time that he began experimenting with time travel. Meanwhile, Jeremiah experienced multiple existential crises in Russia, Ohio, and various other undisclosed locations.
They formed what is now the Fred Lamb Jazz Trio in 1942 and began touring the centuries. They would oft return to the 1920s, one of their favourite periods of time. They have also been known to frequent in and around the year 2008, recently, because of Jeremiah's fascination with knob twiddling, and a shared love between Zachariah and Jeremiah for IHOP's stuffed French Toast, and the music of Paul Curreri and Blake Williams.
After much touring of the centuries, and boasting a strong list of songs, they published their biography in 1929, as mentioned above.
It has been rumoured that a possible concept album is in the works (free from Jeremiah's knob twiddling) that envelopes their esoteric sound, while maintaining their classic Jazz style. It has also been rumoured that a possible stage production, musical, and a documentary film (featuring early footage from Pathe cameras) are all in various stages of production.
They are very excited about the future, and they are looking forward to what the Fred Lamb Jazz Trio has to bring to Jazz. Especially their use of the words, "Polyrhythm", and, "Polymeter".
