The Origins
The Johnny Slide Band originated as a duo band between trombonist Jonathan Episcopo and Bassist Same Old Joe. Performing Thursday nights at Human Village Brewing Company’s open mics, the two produced original jams fusing old school punk with new school funk. Upon meeting guitarist Matt Kyle and drummer Nate Whyte, a make shift band was formed covering songs ranging from bands such as Chicago, The Doors and Santana. After receiving numerous positive comments from patrons, the group formed what is now known as the Johnny Slide Band.
