John and his band were the perfect addition to my father's 60th surprise party. They were easy to work with and I didn't need to worry about a thing. They even played my dad's favorite song for him. Everyone was impressed and was wondering where I found such a great band. If you're looking for a bluesy rockabilly sound -- Johnny and the Headhunters is the band for you. I would definitely work with John again.
Everyone at the party just loved Johnny & The Headhunters! They are a top notch blues band and I couldn't have asked for anything better. So excited to hear them again at my cousins pig roast in September! Highly recommended!

Coming from the Washington DC blues scene, young Johnny Ticktin listened to and was influenced by two fabulous local guitar players ,Bobby Radcliffe and Danny Gatton.
Johnny Ticktin was fortunate when he was picked up by famous blues slide guitar master Louisiana Red to back him up on a world tour.
That experience led Johnny to learn first hand from Blues men such as Lightening Hopkins , Buddy Guy, Albert Collins , Taj Mahal, memphis slim, Luther Allison, Willie Dixon, and many more.
Later as guitar man for the Delaware Rockett 88 , and in Chicago playing with Big Walter meeting Steve Guyger and then on his own with the Headhunters featuring Robbie Mcgruder formerly with Roy Buchannen and Danny Gatton the Headhunters continue to amaze audiences who understand and enjoy the authenticity of the Blues, swing, soul, funk , New Orleans and rock n roll they play .
With 7 Cd releases and thousands of shows, Johnny puts on a high energy show guaranteed to get you moving and grooving.
The album Thats all I need recorded in 2019 went to number one on the RMR blues chart and remained for an astounding 6 months.
