Johnny hails from Woodland (Baileyville), Maine, which is about 100 miles northeast of Bangor on the Canadian border... Due to his poor eyesite he was not able to play sports so at 14 years old his family gave him his first guitar... The rest is history as they say... Johnny is a proficient guitatist, adept in genres from country to jazz to blues... He is in great demand for session work in Nashville and plays mostly for private functions, but can be heard occasionally publicly... Checkout: www.johnnyhiland.com/
