JOHNNY SMOKE is a rock band that has been playing in concert clubs and at festivals around Central and Western New York since 1994. Dubbed "Rochester's Aerosmith" by local radio personality, Unkle Roger (RIP), word of their crowd-pleasing, high-energy performances quickly spread throughout the area. As a result, they have had the opportunity to share the stage with several big-name acts over the years, including surf-guitar legend Dick Dale, and Firehouse.
The group has built a solid reputation for their authentic renditions of guitar-rock favorites from the seventies with a set list that includes music from Aerosmith, The Who, Cheap Trick, ZZ Top, and Alice Cooper. But they are best known for being the finest in the region when it comes to playing songs from Led Zeppelin.
The band's debut CD, Crime Don't Pay Yet!!, was released in 2000, and the follow-up, For A Dollar, was released in 2007.
