Johnny Wheels & the Swamp Donkeys

Johnny “Wheels” Kennicott had music in his blood since birth, but expressing himself musically took on new importance when Johnny broke his neck in a childhood accident, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. Johnny found he could manipulate his paralyzed diaphragm to not only sing, but also blow the harmonica. Johnny now travels the Pacific Northwest music scene, spreading the gospel of the blues with the award-winning Swamp Donkeys.
