Born and raised in the Mississippi Delta country, Johnny C. Lately spent most of his adult life roaming the hills and plains of Texas where he currently makes his home. A regular player on the Northeast Texas music scene since the late 1970’s, he has performed in bars, restaurants, wineries, and music festivals, both solo and with accompaniment. 

For 25 years Johnny C. Lately played numerous venues performing other artists' material, always searching for the sound that expressed his personal world view.  Then, in 2006, after a life-changing experience, he began writing and performing his own songs. Since then, he has written hundreds of original compositions in his own unique voice blending the styles from different musical genres including folk, country, blues, and reggae.
