Johnny & The Mongrels is a high-energy soul-revival outfit blending Swamp Funk, Bayou Soul, and Funkified Americana into an electrifying roots experience. Born from the musical crossroads of New Orleans and Colorado, the band fuses deep-pocket grooves, bluesy grit, and heartfelt storytelling into songs that move both hearts and dance floors. Led by frontman Johnny Ryan, whose voice channels gospel fire and back-porch wisdom, the Mongrels deliver a sound that’s as raw and real as the southern highways that inspire it. Having shared stages with artists like Marc Broussard, Scott Sharrard, George Porter Jr., Samantha Fish, and Eddie 9V, the band continues to carve its own lane in modern roots music—where funk, soul, and rock-’n-roll meet under one groove-soaked banner.
