Chattanooga Has Fun 2.5

Johnny Neel performs at Charles & Myrtle’s Coffehouse on Saturday, January 2nd, at 8pm. Charles & Myrtles is located at Christ Unity Church, at 105 McBrien Road. Although a $10 is suggested for the show, this is a “pass-the-hat” affair, and no one is turned away due to lack of ability to pay.

Although not a household name, Johnny Neel is a Grammy award nominee recognized in the music world for his work with the Allman Brothers, Lonnie Mack and Gov’t Mule, among others. In addition to his soulful vocals, harp, piano and B-3 proficiency, Johnny is an accomplished songwriter whose tunes have been recorded by the likes of the Allman Brothers, Joe Louis Walker, John Mayall, Irma Thomas, Ann Peebles, Marie Osmond, the Oak Ridge Boys and Travis Tritt.

As a man with boundless energy, Neel still manages to juggle studio work, local club gigs, road work and hit song writing, and somehow between the chaos maintains his sanity. “They say that you can’t do it all; Hell, I’m trying to prove ‘em wrong.” – Johnny Neel.
