About Me

"With a Hard Rockin' edge, JOHNNY PESO covers the best Johnny Cash songs and infuses a Bluegrass Banjo into songs like The Who's "Baba O'Riley" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana to name a few surprises. Unlike anything you have ever seen or heard. From high in the hills of Scotch Plains New Jersey, JOHNNY PESO's live show brings raw energy and a breath of fresh air to Rock and Roll."- Weekend section, The Cranberry Press
