Eric Johnson	Scott Darrah	Gary Larsen	Chris Johnson

Chris Johnson — lead vocals, guitar, harmonica
Chris has sung and played guitar, bass, harmonica and keyboards in various bands for nearly 25 years. He began as a bass player, but switched to lead guitar in order to play along side his much older brother, Eric. "Joe of all trades, master of none," Chris is best known for his vocals, changing set lists on the fly and having a new guitar amplifier for every gig. He is also owner of a wastewater treatment equipment business in Omaha, Neb. and the father of two boys.

Eric Johnson — bass guitar, vocals
The Johnson Joes come from a musical family. Eric’s tightly blended vocal harmonies originate from childhood when he held younger brother Chris down to make him sing rather than crying uncle. Eric began playing bass at age 10 and has performed top 40, Christian rock, and country in many bands. He also toured with the University of Nebraska's Scarlet and Cream Singers. Father of two, Eric’s 13-year old son is an up and coming drummer who can hold his own with the Average Joes when Scott wants a break. Eric is VP of Kirkham Michael Consulting Engineers of Lincoln, Neb.

Gary Larsen — keyboards, vocals
A Lincoln musician with more than three decades of performance experience, Gary has played in a variety of rock and roll, county and contemporary Christian bands. He began as a drummer in the 70’s and now focuses on playing keys and singing lead and backup vocals. He creates a nearly infinite number of sounds on what he tells his wife is “the last keyboard I’ll ever need,” a Yamaha S90. He’s Joe Farmer in his spare time, and wears an iPod - combining music with combining.

Scott Darrah — drums
Scott lends the band a solid rhythm playing acoustic and electronic drums. A percussionist for nearly 30 years, he first joined a band at age 14, enlisting his parents to drive him to gigs. With early training in styles from pop rock to big band swing, he also cites Elvis as a musical influence. "I only play the drums,” he says, “however I’m contemplating adding Australian didgeridoo to my list of talents.” One of Scott’s favorite songs is Pink Floyd’s “Money, It’s a Gas”. He’s a financial planner and business advisor in Council Bluffs, Iowa and Nebraska City.
