Singer/Songwriter - Johnny Heaton

---

I work in several areas of music – live performance, songwriting, recording and graphic design for CD's album covers, and promotional items. My main instrument is acoustic guitar but I also play electric guitar, bass, Resonator and just enough banjo, drums and percussion to be somewhat comical. I am a guitarist, songwriter, performing musician and recording artist. I have been playing professionally since 1971

Being born and raised in Waterford, Michigan (just outside of Detroit)  has had a big influence on my style and music. From the  early local rock scene featuring Michigan bands like the Bob Seeger  System, The Amboy Dukes, and The Frost, to Motown from the beginning  with Little Stevie Wonder, the Supremes and the Funk Brothers this music  all left its impression me.  
During my career I have performed with bands that have opened shows for Bob Seeger and the Silver Bullet Band, Spirit, Ten Years  After, The Rockets, and The MC5.

While living in California I played played with Jeff Gold and the Travelers, Raspin Stewart and the Restless Rhythms as well as playing solo shows at places like the Troubadour, and Mommas Pajamas

I sing from the depth of my heart, and my songs tell of this incredible journey through life. And whether playing electric guitar, bass or acoustic guitar, the music has power and energy. From sensitive to insane, my approach is to support the lyrics with the power of the music.
