Not to mention Europe, where they seem to be received with open arms in just about every city and country that they roll into.
Since then, with the addition of Mike Alonso on the drums back in 2000 (their fifth and final drummer by the way), FHJâs hard acid blues has made the band critical darlings, one of the most talked about acts among everyone from NYC hipsters, to the tattooed boogie rockers of Austin, TX. Their next several years were spent in the dingy little clubs of America honing their craft. They quickly found themselves sharing the stage with the likes of Big Jack Johnson and War after just two weeks of being a band that is just how long it took FHJ to put together their first set. The band came flying out of the gates like Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Thus, the Glass City’s finest band, Five Horse Johnson, was formed. In 1995 F.H.J decided to cut the crap and get down to the business of playing blues based rock the way they heard it in their punk and classic rock infested heads.
