Hello.  My name is Johnny Keener.  I play the guitar and sing and write songs.  I have been doing that for quite a while, ever since I was a kid in West Virginia.  Now I live in the new Europe, Portland Oregon.  I play guitar, sing, and write songs in a variety of situations - by myself, in Yoyodyne, and in Johnny & the Bells.  I also play music for kids, sometimes with Johnny and Jason and sometimes by myself.  I also record other people (The Shaky Hands, The Future Historians, The Crosswalks, Mo Phillips) in Sidecar Studio, the studio that I built with my partner and sometimes co-engineer Mark Mascorro.  So, check out the site, listen to some music.  Let me know if I can get you anything.  Have a good time.
