Lead Vocals
Bo Johnson was born in Terre Haute, Indiana. If you listen closely, you might hear just a hint of that backwoods accent, unless he's masking it by speaking with an Irish, or English, or French, or Italian, or Swedish, or Cudahy, or some other ridiculous accent. Bo likes to speak with accents. It helps him get work as an actor with a lot of local theatre companies.
In fact, acting is pretty much what he does for a living these days. Let us make it clear, however, that Bo does not cook with Accent (it's mostly just MSG, after all). He cooks with, primarily, garlic and ginger, which keeps him very healthy, although people tend not to stand very close to him, especially women, who, for some reason, tend not to get very close to him at all. Dogs, on the other hand, love Bo and tend to stick to him like shadows. "Everything's a trade off," says Bo (he says that a lot).
Bo went to UW Eau Claire, where he majored in Theatre Arts. It was a while ago, but the experience launched a career with Milwaukee Chamber Theatre and Milwaukee Shakespeare Company. In addition to playing rhythm guitar and percussion for Random Maxx, Bo plays percussion with award-winning folk artists the Mambo Surfers.
Bo's age, by the way, is 12 (behaviorally) on most days, though it can range as far as 80, usually on days after long gigs. His chronological age is "none of your bee's wax." (Bo was behaviorally 6, apparently, the day we asked him how old he was) We can tell you that he has been involved in music in some way since before he can remember and there are very few things in this world that make him as joyous as those moments when Random Maxx lands on one of those beautiful 5-part vocal harmonies. In fact, there is only one thing he can think of that makes him as happy, but, since women tend to not get very close to him, it's a good thing we sing a lot of-5 part harmonies.
