Johnnie Bolin grew up in the
Midwest in the 50's. His Father, Richard Bolin, worked at a packing
plant and Mother, Barbara, worked at the hospital.
They had busy full-time jobs
not related to music, so hardly the parents to raise three boys that made music
all their lives. Johnnie’s oldest brother, Tommy, was a guitarist, Johnnie a
Drummer, and his younger brother, Rick (Pudge), was a singer. They all started
playing in bands after getting their first musical instruments and then performed
at high schools, ballrooms, street dances, etc. Tommy left school and moved to
Denver at age 16. He got in a recording band and was on American Bandstand at
age 18. He went on to play with concert bands -- James Gang and, one of the
biggest rock bands of the 70's, Deep Purple. Johnnie somewhat followed his path
at the time. He continued to play around the Midwest and got a big break
joining Tommy’s band in ‘76, playing Mile High Stadium in Denver changing his
life forever.
Johnnie tragically lost his brother later that year but continued
on. He moved to California, Miami, NYC, and, eventually, settled in
Minneapolis. At that time, he accepted a job with Black Oak Arkansas and
traveled worldwide for the next 30 years.
Playing, recording, and traveling were
and are Johnnie’s life. Today he’s back in his hometown of Sioux City,
Iowa... and still beating the “skins" after all these years.
