  • Bio

    Over the years, blues has become a foundation for a variety of musical genres. It is this ideology that has brought together the members of one of the blues scene’s most promising up and comers. Johnny No is proving that the various faces of blues can provide an aural common ground that transcends genres and generations in order to create music that appeals to all. Johnny No has been spending a majority of its existence appeasing the masses crowded into the various watering holes lining the Gulf Coast. One must look first to Johnny No’s line-up in order to understand their unique blues sound and philosophy. Guitarist Al McNab and drummer Bob Scroggins were shaped by Southern Rock pioneers such as the Allman Brothers in the 70s. They spent a good portion of their career rocking glam metal in the 80s. This exposure and experience has shaped McNab’s untouchable guitar skills and Scroggins unbreakable rhythms. Bassist P.T. Marston is a jam disciple with a vast array of eclectic sensibilities, which he throws freely into the mix. “The Rev.” rounds out this five-piece blues powerhouse with vocals full of fire and fury pulled from his time in underground rock. Despite their diverse musical backgrounds, they have found a bond in the blues. Each member brings their own style and talent to the table, and the end-result will be their full-length debut. Johnny No is currently promoting their debut release “The Riviera Sessions, Vol. 1.” Johnny No’s goal was to create an old school vibe in the same vein as Howlin’ Wolf or Muddy Waters. The band journeyed to Como, Ms. (home of Otha Turner and Mississippi Fred McDowell) to lay down tracks with Grammy Award winning producer Jimbo Mathus (Squirrel Nut Zippers, Buddy Guy) and engineer Justin Showah at Delta Recording Services. This facility prides itself on providing a recording environment filled with vintage equipment. Delta Recording Services has attracted a variety of musicians from Elvis Costello to The Hives. Mathus and Showah captured the live essence of Johnny No in this ideal aural environment to produce eight tracks of raw, gritty blues. From raucous juke riffs such as “Gimme Some” to mesmerizing, traditional blues numbers such as “So Hard” to the hard-driving “So Unkind (P.T. Blues),” Johnny No have tried to cover as many styles of blues as possible with The Riviera Session, Vol. 1. This album begs to transport the listener to the darker days of blues by riddling their music with tales of murder, adultery, the devil, vengeance, intoxication, heartbreak, betrayal and sex. With their debut in hand, Johnny No will be working overtime to spread their sounds to the four winds and bring their intense live show to every corner of the world.

JOHNNY NO is a new Blues based band from the Lower Alabama area, made up of four long time friends that have played separately in various Gulf Coast bands. They have known each other for many years and sometimes their musical paths would cross. John and Al have known each other since the second grade at St. Monica School in Mobile, Al. Where they became life long best friends while trying to avoid the wrath of a serious knuckle sandwich and other assorted painful punishments from the good Sister Ann, the princible of St. Monica's. Around 1971 or 1972, when they were in the seventh and eighth grades John got his hands on a bass guitar and Al had a cheap six string electric guitar. They started to spend hours together learning how to play the guitars and discovering new music by raiding John's older sisters and brother's record collections and from a record club that Al's Dad had signed him up for. It wasn't long before Al's brothers followed their lead and started to learn how to play guitars too. His brother Brian picked up the guitar and his brother Tarleton "T" McNab mastered the bass guitar. John and Al later formed a little garage band together and in later years joined together to play in a band called "MudBone" and recently with John's band "The Excentrix". Al first met Bob in high school and through the years they have played together in many different bands, "Grand Larceny", "Wall to Wall", "The McNab Brothers Band" (which also obviously consisted of Al's brothers Brian and Tarleton), "The Clientz", "The Trim" "MudBone" and "Strayt Jacket". Bob can also be heard playing around the local area with Keith Hunter in the band "Chicken Daddy & the Hot Wings". Brian and Al, along with brother "T" (and sometimes Bob helping out or joining in on drums) have played with "The McNab Brother's Band", "Thundering Herd of Turtles", "The Voodoo Poodles" and more recently in their other band "JackJaw Jimmy". So each of them have played and jammed together in various bands, but this is the first time that they have all four joined forces to create a band and music with this new band called "JOHNNY NO". The music and the vibe feels good. Blues and Soulful Rocking Jams. We are ready to start playin' live and we hope to have some tunes recorded soon to post here. The band is "JOHNNY NO". "The members of "Johnny No" would also like to thank Rick Reynolds -(guitar, harmonica and lead vocals) of "The Xcentrix" band and Joe Jackson -(drums) of "The Joe Cain Blues Band" for their talent, time, input and friendship in helping to get the wheels turning on the "Johnny No" train !!!! **** For CONTACT AND BOOKING INFO - johnnyno@live.com **** ..Johnny No
