Kurt Johnston/Bon Jovi

[Mike Brown]

I would like to welcome steel guitarist Kurt Johnson to the list of Peavey Nashville Amplifier endorser team. Kurt is now touring with Bon Jovi using his Nashville 1000 amplifier.

[Steve Stallings]

Bon Jovi needs a pedal steel? Dang... Anyway, that's cool.

[Mike Brown]

Yeah, Kurt is a really nice guy that was a referral of steel guitar great Jerry Brightman, who is also a steel guitarist.

The music world is definitely changing at a rapid pace and I applaud and welcome any and all new players to the steel guitar community. What fun and creativity lies ahead!

I have known Kurt since I was 18 years old and I am now 47. He was the inspiration to me at that time as a local steel guitar player. He made me want to play the steel guitar and have loved it ever since. When the Johnston Bros. were together, there was not a band in the Phila area that could touch them. They played the way country and western swing should be played, period. I was very sad when the band broke up as they were top notch, not only music wise, but great human beings. They treated you like they knew you forever! I wish him the best with Bon Jovi, but my heart is still with the country and western swing, just my opinion and if you ever heard him, you would agree!

I know Kurt & Wayne from way back too, great guys and top pickers. The Barn Jovi gig couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

dup post...sorry

[Jerry Overstreet]

I don't know Kurt, but I'd like to wish him well with the Bon Jovi gig.

I also think it's fantastic that Jon and the band has seen fit to include the steel guitar in their music. That can only be good for everyone.

[Mike Brown]

Sorry, but Kurt's last name is spelled "Johnston". Sorry 'bout that Kurt!

[Isaac Stanford]

I took a few lessons from Kurt when I was just getting started. He's a great guy and was a real inspiration to me. Congratulations on the Bon Jovi gig.
