HI-FI DRIVE BY, taps into the talents of Johnson’s mentors and the extremely talented musicians in his hometown of St. Louis MO USA. Johnson wanted to go back to the blues and rock n roll basics, reaching out to a St. Louis Legend, Tom Maloney (Co-Producer), for inspiration. In addition, Johnson tapped into the wide range of musical talents of Paul Niehaus IV (Producer). With Paul’s throw back production style and years of experience working with a wide variety of performing artists, it proved to be a perfect combination. Johnson, Tom, and Paul began assembling some of the best horn players, backing vocalists and percussionist in St. Louis, to create the wonderful thick layers of musicianship tastefully captured on HI-FI DRIVE BY. This is the first release Johnson has worked with co-writers (Maloney and Niehaus IV); and the results are nothing short of spectacular. HI-FI DRIVE BY is the “Coming of Age” release of Johnson’s career.

HI-FI DRIVE BY is a phenomenal music experience, Johnson’s masterpiece and firmly establishes him at the top of his game. Forget what you might have thought you knew of Jeremiah Johnson and his music; he has clearly arrived and exceeded all expectations with HI-FI DRIVE BY.
