Johnny "V" Vernazza Band at Cafe Boogaloo

Catch Johnny "V" and his band of three at Cafe Boogaloo on July 30, 2010.

Johnny has played guitar with many Blues greats like Chuck Berry, Steve "Guitar" Miller, Commander Cody & the Lost Planet Airmen and Elvin Bishop to name a few. He was recruited into Elvin Bishop's band that led to 6 albums, Gold Records, endless touring and the #3 song in the nation by 1974 "Fooled Around and Fell in Love." Elvin and Johnny's dual lead and slide parts set a style that was part of the Southern Rock Sound and continues to live on today. 

Johnny continues to wow folks with his sizzling bluesy slide guitar as a long time member of harmonica great Norton Buffalo (Steve Miller Band) So keep an eye and ear out for Johnny as he's playin', producing and recording with some of the best the music world has to offer.
