Five Horse Johnson

Formed in 1995 in Toledo, Ohio, Five Horse Johnson has cemented itself as a mainstay in the blues-rock scene with an injection of tough, gritty southern energy that has captured the ears of their extensive fan base. The band is known for combining the raw power of classic blues with the intensity and swagger of rock & roll, creating a potent blend that pays homage to the greats while forging its own path. Five Horse Johnson consists of Eric Oblander on harmonica and lead vocals, Brad Coffin on guitar and vocals, Steve Smith on bass, and various drummers through their tenure, including founding member Tim Gahagan.

Throughout their career, Five Horse Johnson has demonstrated their ability to stay fresh and relevant in the ever-evolving music landscape. Albums like "The No. 6 Dance" and "The Mystery Spot" showcase their dynamic approach to music-making, with heavy riffs and earthy blues motifs that feel at once relentlessly modern and timelessly classic. Their most recent works, such as "Jake Leg Boogie," which was released in 2017, continue to exhibit their characteristic blend of soulful vocals, gritty guitar work, and bluesy harmonica lines. With an unpretentious approach to their art, Five Horse Johnson preserves the soul of American rock while consistently delivering energetic and compelling performances both on stage and in the studio.
