About me: After being rescued from a foster home in Brooklyn, I was raised by a group of Irish immigrants. They changed my name from Charlie to John Patrick and nick named me Johnny (which is another word for "Yankee", but that's another story). Immensely to my advantage was a library right down the corner from the house where I grew up. When I was a little boy, Ma (Ellen Coughlan) took me to a place in Rockaway Beach called The Irish Circle. It was there that I saw a gifted drummer on a 4 piece Ludwig set. That is one of the fondest memories of my life. Not long after that, I got hold of some drums. My old man (Jimmy Coughlan) listened to the Dubliners and watched Hee-Haw. That's where the banjo began for me. Although Jimmy and Ellen exposed me to great music, they discouraged my musical curiosity. I had to sneak my instruments into our home. It took me a little while to realize how great a blessing that all was.
When the Marine Corps sent me to Okinawa for a year, I made the mistake of leaving my banjo in the states. That was my longest stretch of time away from the banjo since I began playing.
I freelance as a session musician here in NYC and am a member of Local 802 AFM. My banjo has been used in national television commercials for companies such as Volkswagen and Wal-Mart. For me, playing music is like talking with God.
More music info is available here.
I also work as a visual artist. My clients include Ralph Lauren, Macy’s, The New York Post, Metro, Newsday, Bloomberg and the Daily News. There are examples of my work on the Johnny Jackpot site.
