Welcome to the official Johnny
and the Hurricanes® website.
Even though Johnny Paris® (pictures above
in a blue jacket) started out with a baritone saxophone at
Rossford High, his first instrument of choice was always
the tenor sax, with preference for Selmer
products.
Johnny Paris® was
founder and leader of Johnny and the Hurricanes® and the
only constant "part" of this American Rock band from the
beginning until to his death on the first of May 2006.
Sadly also any live performances of this famous
instrumental group died with him. But let's face it, Johnny
would have been irreplaceable anyhow.
The group had their last appearance live on stage in
November 2005 during a Sweden Tour. Yet Johnny and the
Hurricanes®, their songs and last but not least Johnny
Paris®, will never be forgotten as they were setting a mile
stone in the history of Rock 'n Roll.
