Thank you to everyone who helped make 2023 a great year so far.  Thanks to the great musicians in the Groove Pilots and Johnny Marie & the Lonesome Petunias for keeping the music fresh and always high quality!  

Thanks to my family and friends as well for keeping folk, country, swing, and gospel music alive and well.  I have teamed up with Jerry Riccardi (Drums) and Dave Swiercinski (Bass) to host weekly Jam sessions at Tom's Bar & Grill, 12949 Hwy 40, Independence MO.   We are now called "Hwy 40 Travelers." This is a great place to enjoy some good food, friendly company and join in the music.   We welcome musicians and singers and play a wide variety of music.

Whether I'm practicing new music, working recording or jamming at the local bars, this is the one place you can always go to know the latest with me and my music, so check back often — you never know when something fun is going to pop up here for your music enjoyment!

Originally from Sedalia MO with deep roots in Warsaw MO I now reside in Raytown MO in the Kansas City area and play with several musical groups as well as solo. 

I grew up loving the organ music at church and learned to sing for my family at a young age.  My Mother played the piano, and my Uncle Leo Galloway was an excellent jazz musician in the 50's.   My Father was born with a hearing defect and has always read people's faces and body language.  He couldn't hear the music, but he feels it and has always been able to dance a pretty mean jig.   I believe he is the one I picked up my talent for rhythm and reading people.  I formed a 3 piece band in the late 60's with Glen Spencer and Dr. Richard McDonald.  We have written hundreds of songs over the years and still get together when we can to write and perform.  Jars of Dark is a CD we released 

2023 is in full swing now with the Groove Pilots playing all over KC and the Lake of the Ozarks.   Looking forward to Captain Rons, July 22, and Warsaw's Smoking Hot Days Aug 5th!

http://johnniemarie.net - This is the most interesting musical undertaking I have ever been fortunate enough to be part of.   With 5 CDs available and the 6th on the way we are a true contender in the music industry.   Our music is truly inspirational and must be seen live to fully be appreciated.   Please check our latest CD.
