JOHNNY IGUANA Bio

Johnny Iguana, together with his longtime songwriting/producing partner JQ, is the composer of the original score for the hit FX/Hulu series “The Bear.” Chicago is Johnny’s home, but he’s still an East Coast kid at heart.

He grew up in Philadelphia, where he studied piano from age eight and played piano and organ in blues bands from age 16. He moved to New York City at age 22, where he met one of his greatest musical heroes, Junior Wells. He was hired by Junior after auditioning live at the Boston House of Blues, and moved to Chicago in February 1994. He toured with the Junior Wells Band for three years, toured with Otis Rush and recorded with Carey (and Lurrie) Bell, Lil’ Ed and more.

Johnny went on to play on Grammy-nominated albums by Junior Wells, Chicago Blues: A Living History and the Muddy Waters 100 Band, and he played all the piano on the “Chicago Plays the Stones” album (2018). Those releases saw Johnny play on record with Buddy Guy, James Cotton, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Derek Trucks, Gary Clark Jr., Johnny Winter, Shemekia Copeland and more. After appearing on dozens of blues albums released by other artists, Johnny released his debut blues album as a leader, on the iconic Chicago label Delmark Records. “JOHNNY IGUANA’S CHICAGO SPECTACULAR!” features Lil’ Ed, John Primer, Billy Boy Arnold, Bob Margolin, Matthew Skoller, Billy Flynn, Kenny Smith, Bill Dickens and Michael Caskey. (Tour dates are here. More about the JOHNNY IGUANA’S CHICAGO SPECTACULAR! band here.)

On his blues tours and his tours with the Claudettes and oh my god, Johnny has played all over Europe, North and South America, Australia and New Zealand, Indonesia, all across Japan and in the Middle East. In 2021, Johnny earned a prestigious Blues Music Award nomination for Piano Player of the Year. In 2022, Johnny received a Living Blues Award nomination for Outstanding Musician: Keyboard.

A short list of Johnny’s major musical inspirations: Otis Spann, Jay McShann, Ray Charles, Mose Allison, Bobby Timmons, Mike Watt, Bob Mould, Joe Strummer, Captain Beefheart and the near, dear, late, great Junior Wells. Johnny is a proud carrier of tradition (including the Chicago blues that uprooted him from his East Coast home and planted him firmly in the Windy City) but is even more proud to have developed abusive organ tones and a highly rhythmic, very “in-the-moment” piano style that sounds like no one else.
