BIO

Born in Omaha, Nebraska, raised in Portland, Oregon, and living in Nashville, Tennessee since 1993, comedian/impressionist, Johnny Counterfit has not only lived from one end of America to another, but has performed in concert, on television, radio, and film, from (nearly) one end of the world to the other.

Television cartoons, comedians, and actors cultivated Johnny’s talent of voice impressions, at an early age, along with radio and recordings of some of the most celebrated singers of the last half-century. Johnny brings the richness of his experience to the concert stage, presenting voice impressions of singers, actors, and politicians, in clean comedy and music.

The first of many professional opportunities arose when the ABC Television network called Johnny to appear on the new show, America’s Funniest People. The ensuing years brought appearances on many networks, including CBS, TBS, TNN, as well as cable and satellite television and radio shows.

Currently, you will find Johnny featured on SIRIUS/XM Satellite, RFD Television network, Blue Highways Television network, concert stages, and terrestrial/broadcast radio stations around the world.

On COUNTRY.COM, Johnny is a part of country's largest music encyclopedia, a CD compiled by author Barry McCloud. Barry aptly named Johnny the, "RICH LITTLE of COUNTRY MUSIC".

Counterfit has performed and recorded with some of the biggest names in the entertainment field, that include GEORGE JONES, JOHNNY CASH, MERLE HAGGARD, CHARLIE PRIDE, REBA McENTIRE, MARTY STUART, RONNIE MCDOWELL, TOMMY CASH, and on the CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE COUNTRY SOUL's CD entitled, "IN THE SHADE OF THE FAMILY TREE" that include artists such as ALAN JACKSON, RANDY TRAVIS, and DOLLY PARTON. Last, but not least, Counterfit has performed at the The WHITE HOUSE, in Washington DC.

With over 200 voices in his repertoire, Counterfit has recorded many voice-overs for clients, and for his efforts received a SILVER MICROPHONE AWARD, an OAB AWARD for most effective radio commercial, a TELLY award for best sales video, and a United Kingdom VOX award.

Counterfit presents a memorable show featuring voice and singing impressions of some of the most famous singers and actors of all time, packaged in a "clean comedy and music style", with a live band or as a soloist with guitar. His impressions are exact and are not an exaggeration for comedic purposes; for comedy he adds jokes and humor, from today and yesterday. Songs Johnny has written and recorded are also part of the show.

Johnny resides in Nashville, Tennessee.
