https://erniejohnsonfromdetroit.com/Ernie Johnson From Detroit is a Cincinnati based band that blends afrobeat, funk, and jazz with 70s psychedelia and hard rock to create a hypnotic, danceable sound that is both accessible and boundary pushing. Their stage show is a high-energy, infectious dance party that centers on intense, spontaneous improvisation combined with tight, sophisticated compositions that live inside the groove. The band’s horn-heavy arrangements and relentless rhythm section allow for a variety of styles and a layering of dynamics in their improvised jams that make people want to move. The band released their 3rd studio album, Stump Grinder, in the Spring of 2024.
The members of the group, or “Ernies”, have been friends and musical collaborators since 2012, and began to piece together their very personal collage of musical styles, inspired by tales of shared adventures and by all that is funky and tight. Some of the group’s many musical influences include Fela Kuti, James Brown, Mulatu Astatke, The Budos Band, Huey Lewis, and Dio amongst others. Since bringing their live show to the stage, EJFD has become a crowd favorite wherever they go, with a number of sold-out shows under their belt, including their annual Ohio River boat cruise, Pelicans on the Breeze.
