Terry’s solo gig is a high-energy, "one-man-band" that leans heavily on showmanship, craftsmanship, and a massive variety of classic rock and country hits.
Here is a breakdown of what makes his show unique:
1. The "Wild" Instrument Collection
This is the main hook. Terry isn't just playing standard acoustic covers; he’s playing custom-built, functional art.
The Gear: He uses instruments made from repurposed items like a Rachael Ray frying pan, a Harley motorcycle part, a snowmobile ski, and even a 1-string garden hoe.
The Sound: Specifically, he highlights a 3-string baseball bat guitar. Because these instruments are handmade from unconventional materials, they produce tones you literally cannot hear anywhere else.
2. The One-Man Band Setup
Terry has built a "wall of sound" by himself to ensure the performance feels like a full band:
Self-Produced Backing: He recorded his own bass and percussion tracks.
Live Control: He uses foot controls to trigger these tracks, allowing him to stay live and improvisational while maintaining a full, rhythmic backbone.
Multi-Instrumentalist: In addition to his "wild guitars," he incorporates Saxophone, Harmonica, and Vocals, giving the set a lot of dynamic range.
3. The Setlist
The repertoire is a "Who's Who" of American rock, blues, and country, designed to keep a crowd engaged. It spans several decades:
Classic Rock: The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, and The Beatles.
Southern/Blues Rock: ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, SRV, and George Thorogood.
Modern/Outlaw Country: Tyler Childers, Chris Stapleton, Johnny Cash and Jelly Roll.
Feel-Good Anthems: Jimmy Buffett, Steve Miller Band, and Van Morrison.
Summary of the Vibe
"It’s a sonic curiosity shop." >
You go for the novelty of seeing a guy shred on a garden hoe or a frying pan, but you stay because the sound is filled out with professional-grade backing tracks and soulful sax/harp playing. It’s clearly a labor of love for Terry, focusing on "making music better" through constant invention.

This was from a festival I played at.













For years I've made and played instruments that have given me great success from playing on the Rachael Ray TV show, featured in Guitar World and Guitar Player magazines, open for national acts. My music CD’s have been sold all over the world and used on TV shows.

Here's an example of the guitars I use in the show. FRYING PAN, BASEBALL BAT, BROOM, CANE, CAR PARTS & many more.. I know the instruments are crazy looking but the music is amazing.
I introduce my wild guitar creations one at a time with the hilarious back story of each. Then I play them in what’s called LIVE LOOPING layering their sound while mixing in percussion blows the audiences away.
The show is booked by the hour. After the show I invite everyone to come up for questions, take pictures & a meet and greet.

Mojo's story
This is Terry Mojo Johnson. I've been entertaining audiences from schools to national tv shows and everyplace in between. I caught the eye of the Rachael Ray TV show with a guitar I made from one of her frying pans that ended with me playing on her show. I've been making and playing many different instruments professionally and one thing for sure everybody from young to old likes to hear me play them and hear the stories of how and why. Each instrument has a story. I have many viral instrumental videos on my band's Facebook page The Swamp Drivers. Many of the instruments were made from reclaimed items that some people would have thrown out, but I took these items, built instruments and make music that people from around the world buy my CD's. I make the show fun and entertaining.
