In 1984 Johnny B. settled in Homer, Alaska where he finds his greatest inspiration from the aesthetics of the land, waters and wildlife. During the summer months, he performs at the Pier One Theater on the legendary Homer Spit.

Johnny B's performance goes far outside the bounds of a musical performance. It is a wonderful story of a life committed to the outdoors, education and music. It is fun, entertaining and moving. The footage of wilderness scenes is spectacular and the accompanying compositions add even more. Johnny B is a passionate performer, but he is wise enough to let the wilderness and Alaska deliver their own powerful message.
