Steamboat reunion for Johnny Walker
After hearing that former KLBJ-FM radio host Johnny Walker, beloved among the hard rock crowd, had suffered a stroke, former Steamboat owner Danny Crooks started making some phone calls. “Wanna play a benefit for Johnny?” The answer was, generally, “just tell us when and where.”
The show will be at Threadgill’s on June 8, with such Steamboat alums as Soulhat, Steamroller, Pushmonkey and Breedlove pledging their support. There’s also talk of Sister 7 reuniting and Bob Schneider might even get back with Joe Rockhead. This is all early talk and things could change, but it looks to be one heckuva blowout. For a guy who supported all those bands when they were starting out.

Great cause and great lineup of the bands that I used to go watch in the 90’s at the old Steamboat. Let’s hope that Joe Rockhead does a set also.
