Johnny Showcase is an electrifying experience. This 10-piece Philadelphia-based group is an innovative, joyful tour-de-force that blissfully toes the line between performance art and a psychedelic soul revival. Carrying the torch of funk-rock pioneers like Funkadelic and Frank Zappa, their ecstatic live shows have gained a massive following and propelled Johnny to something of a funky Philly folk hero. In 2021 ,Johnny appeared on America’s Got Talent, which was hailed by Simon Cowell as “…Brilliant. One of my favorite acts..this year” and garnered 2.4 million views on YouTube.
