Harpin Jonny and the Groovehounds

Harpin Jonny and the Groovehounds is a one of a kind sound of rock and blues band that will get you out on the dance floor. This band features a very talented group of musicians, some of the best of the Monterey Bay area. Harpin Jonny, a virtuoso harmonica player and singer, breathes a mouthful of life into his harmonica. Jonny has fronted this band for the last twelve years as they help him bring out the blues side of his licks, with a solid rhythm section. The band features Tom Lawson on vocals and keyboards, Jamey DeMaria on drums, and Joe Vallaire on bass, all three formerly the rhythm section of Red Beans and Rice. They laid down the tracks with Jonny on a pair of songs on his new C.D., including the tribute to Norton Buffalo called Puerto de Azul and the radio hit, “Knocks Me Out.” The newest addition to the group is Bob O’Neill, a stellar guitar player. He was the lead singer, song writer and guitar player for the legendary Santa Cruz band “Snail.”
