Johnny Wheels & The Swam Donkeys - Keep On Pushin'

Johnny Wheels & The Swam Donkeys - 'Keep On Pushin' Label: Lightning In A Bottle Records Produced By: Jimi Bott and Johnny Wheels & The Swamp Donkeys Genre: Rock, Blues, Funk Keep On Pushin’, from Johnny Wheels & The Swamp Donkeys, is a head-turning initial release from a Pacific Northwest band determined to claim its spot among the area’s many notable acts. The band’s front person, Johnny Wheels (Kennicott), is a singer/songwriter/harmonica player who grew up avidly observing his musician father’s rehearsals until his untimely death when Johnny was just six years old.

The seed was  planted, however, and the young boy experimented on various instruments and sang with the radio, building his skills with encouragement from his father’s friends. Tragedy struck again, though, when 12-year-old Johnny broke two vertebrae in a devastating accident and was paralyzed from the chest down.
After months and months of therapy, his love for music resurfaced and he was bound and determined to get back to it.
By the time he was 20 he was holding his own with other musicians, joining bands and writing songs.

All of his hard work has led to Johnny Wheels & The Swamp Donkeys, in which Johnny is flanked by his key collaborators Brandon Logan on guitar and Taylor Frazier on bass. This dynamic trio wrote all of the songs on Keep On Pushin’, from southern soul grooves to percolating slow blues to barn burning rock shuffles. The band co-produced the album with renowned blues drummer Jimi Bott, who has multiple awards and nominations for his work behind the board.
