Performance

In 1981 Johnny B. settled in 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 in Homer, Alaska.
During the fall and spring, Johnny B.'s RHYTHM OF THE NORTH program is performed in community halls and performing arts centers throughout the West. His outreach programs have been attended by thousands of young people over the years.  Johnny B.’s live performance, Rhythm of the North just might serve as a catalyst to inspire climate change resilience as well as an awareness for the need of protection of our public lands, waterways and wildlife.

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.

Passionate - Fun - Entertaining

"Johnny B. and his Rhythm of the North were a huge hit at our theater.  First, let me say, his piano playing and compositions were first rate. I wished every struggling music student could have been in the audience to see how much fun music can be. Through his eyes, we were reminded that our home was also a beautiful place. I highly recommend that you invite Johnny B. to your town."
