Johnny cut his teeth right out of school with former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor as the singer and keyboard player in his touring band. Yes, Johnny has been blind since he was 17. Since then, he has bruised his legs and his forehead on numerous stages across the North American continent and around the world, gigging, recording, producing, and even winning an Emmy Award. Among Johnny's production credits are a list of known and unknown artists too long to run away with here. His own bands have included the CMJ charting Dark Black Past, as well as Mudgod.

Ross Kantor - drums

Ross has been drumming long enough to fake out Bloodroot into having him play.;-) After studying various styles of music I just can't deny my roots in rock, Thanks to my older brother."thanks bro!" Touring with Chaotic Past in the US and Europe, And auditioning for the past two years finaly brought the cream of the crop too Ross. "Auditioning is a great way to find out where you stand with yourself if not with others." "I found out within the first few moments that Johnny is a fertile well of ideas that was freeflowing." It was very welcoming.

Ross is WAY too modest - he rocks his ass off!

Doug Vannoni - guitar and backing vocals

Doug started playing guitar when he was 6, even earlier if you count a plastic toy guitar. He's been playing in bands around New York since he was a teenager. Peppermint Genius, The Jumping Nasby's & Mister Popular to name a few. He can even sing back up, and believe us, we're gonna put him to work. He's a real team player who's really gonna help us elevate our live show to another level and, just in time for the release of DEEP, our new CD - hmmmm, funny how that timing worked out. Anyway, we auditioned a bunch of guys, and we think this one's a keeper....
