You are guaranteed a good time with The Johnny Max Band. A Rockin’ Boogie band that has been a fixture of the Toronto Blues and R&B scene for almost 10 years. The Johnny Max Band have now completed their third CD, "Ride & Roll". With their mixture of traditional Chicago style Blues…a bit of old fashioned country…and, as always, a dopple of R’n’B…,they are a crowd pleasing, get your feet moving’, get up outta yer chair kind of band, no matter what or where they are playing. Thus making them “The Hardest Working Band in the GTA”. Now working on their fourth CD and playing many festivals in and around Ontario, come out and see why they have shared the stage with the likes of Downchild, Morgan Davis, Mel Brown,
 Jack De Keyzer, Fathead, Jeff Healey and David Rotundo....and the list grows.


Johnny Max is a soulful singer whose respect, dedication and passion for music are evident. He is also a brilliant entertainer who has audiences thoroughly enjoying each show.  Johnny Max has been building up a solid reputation as one of those guys who gives 110% and is one of the most action-packed and satisfying entertainers around.  Johnny takes to performing like a fish to water, a perpetual motion machine, galvanizing his spicy blend of Stax/Volt, Atlantic, Funk, and Blues into frenzied heights, often propelling himself into the audience’s eager arms.

Kevin Higgins A professional for over 25 years, Kevin Higgins has performed and recorded with Morgan Davis, David Wilcox, Danny Brooks, Rita Chiarelli and Willie “Big Eyes” Smith.  He has also performed with Snooky Pryor, Little Mack Simmons and A.C. Reed among others.  A guitarist of astonishing abilities, Kevin understands the difficulty of translating the dynamism of what’s heard live to the confines of the studio.
Uli Bohnet Uli Bohnet has been a mainstay on the Toronto Blues / Roots scene for many years.  His tasteful and solid bass playing has caused him to be hired by great artists such as Paul Reddick + The Sidemen, Eugene Smith, Danny Marks, Chuck Jackson, Danny B, Barabra Lynch, Uncle Shecky, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, Joe Mavety, Krista Blondin, The Dues Brothers, Virgil Scott, George Gao, Little Mack Simmons, Jay Douglas, and countless others.

Duncan McBain Drums started his professional career in the spring of 1980, going from a basement to an unrehearsed gig in Kitchener with the Good Brothers. He played with the Good Bros. for a year, along with Canadian Zephyr gigs in between. He then formed a band with Garth Bourne from Canadian Zephyr.  In 1984, a mutual friend introduced Dunc to Morgan Davis. His two years of playing with Morgan led to playing with Michael Pickett, Dutch Mason, Hock Walsh, and various members of the Downchild Blues Band.  While playing in the late 80s with The Headhunters, Dunc met Tom Barlow. After The Headhunters disbanded, Dunc played Top 40 and originals with Tom for the next 14 years.  Dunc is currently the drummer for Stratochief, The Johnny Max Band, The Grant Lyle Band, and The Vaughn Passmore Trio.
