The Johnson & Company band was formed in October of
2010. Terry and Pat had been playing in a previous band
and they decided to start a new band with a different
style of music. John had filled in one time with the old
band and we asked him to try out. Within 2 minutes of
the tryout we all knew we had something special, the JOHNSON
& COMPANY band was born. The next day a club called
and they had a band cancel on them the following weekend
and asked if we could do the job, I said yes. So 10 days
after our 1st time together we played a gig and havent
stopped playing clubs all over Central New York.

repertoire ignores boundaries between jazz, folk and rock.

songwriting and arranging and a shared love for the incentive
possibilities of improvisation.
