The "Johnny Blues Band", based in the city of Porto, in Portugal, emerged in 1994 with musicians from various styles and influences but with the common taste for the uncomplexed "Blues" sounds , appearing especially in various Blues festivals namely : Gaia Blues, Seia Jazz and Blues Festival , Avante, Blues on the island of Santa Maria, Beach Blues Festival on Terceira Island - Azores, Douro Blues, Évora Jazz & Blues Festival , Matosinhos Jazz Festival , 1st Porto Blues Festival, and sharing the stage with blues greats such as Looney Brooks, Morris Hot (Magic Slim), Dr. Feelgood ...
The complicity of the public together with the interpretation's versatility gives the colorful performances a quality that characterize the great strength of what is now considered the best and most charismatic electric national blues band, patenting the genuineness and progression of a decade and a half of shows.
