Harry Johnson
Lead Guitarists and Cannabis Dispensary Owner
Harry Johnson is as much a connoisseur of riffs as he is of relaxation.
By day, he’s the smooth-talking dispenser of medical miracles at his local cannabis shop, where customers often remark on his ability to pair the perfect strain with just about any mood or occasion.
By night, Harry unleashes his inner rock god, shredding solos that sound suspiciously like they’ve been inspired by the Grateful Dead. He claims his finger dexterity comes from years of meticulously labeling jars of product.
Harry’s signature move? Sneaking into his solos a few notes that, when decoded, spell out the scientific names of cannabis plants.
Subtle? Maybe. Legendary? Absolutely.
Other groups Harry has worked with.
Bananadrama
A pop-punk trio with a knack for writing break-up anthems inspired by arguments at smoothie bars. Their near-hit song ‘Berry Bitter’ was tragically overshadowed by a lawsuit from a major fruit cooperative.
Velcro Nirvana
Known for their innovative approach of sticking themselves to walls mid-performance, they briefly wowed the alternative scene. Sadly, they became stuck, quite literally, during their second album photo shoot and had to be surgically separated from the studio.
Unforgettable Moments
Strain Miscommunication
Harry once described his guitar riffs to a customer at the dispensary as “like Northern Lights meeting Maui Wowie on a cosmic journey.”
The customer, thinking Harry was talking about cannabis strains, tried to order a “cosmic journey.” The mix-up became an in-store joke, and now his guitar solos are unofficially known as “Cosmic Journeys.”
Solo Mishap
During a live show, Harry got so into his guitar solo that he accidentally stepped on his guitar cable and unplugged it. Thinking quickly, he improvised by miming his solo while humming the notes - oddly enough, the audience loved it.
