Bass player Richard Johnson may be soft spoken, although
he is a large presence on stage. His bass lines form a solid foundation for the Jump Ship blues band. Richard does everything in a big fashion; from his towering bass amp, upright bass, and twin electric bass guitars, as well he always has the sharpest duds on stage. Richard is never lost in the background, he is well versed in the blues, knows when to lay back and when to shine in the spotlight. Richard is the anchor that keeps the Jump Ship blues band from going adrift.
