Music Host Joe Johnson
Joe Johnson is happy to be with you on the Malt Shop Memories Cruise! Many of you may already know Joe from his four decades on the radio in South Florida, his years as local host of Morning Edition on WLRN public radio and through his nationally syndicated Beatle Brunch radio show which currently airs on nearly 100 stations via the Compass Media Network.
Joe was born in Brooklyn NY and grew up in Miami. He got into broadcasting when he won a record in a radio call-in contest. It was then that he chose his lifelong passion: deejay and on-air host on Magic 102.7. Joe has had the good fortune to interview and introduce some of the artists of the Malt Shop Memories era like Little Richard, The Everly Brothers, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ronnie Spector, The Beach Boys, Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr, The Four Tops &Temptations, Lou Christie, Little Anthony, Jay and The Americans and many others.
These days you can find Joe as Music Host of The Flower Power and 70’s Rock and Romance Cruise, Master of Ceremonies @ Ft. Lauderdale’s New Years Eve Countdown, The Biltmore Halloween Party and MC of several charity events throughout the year.
Joe is also a national voiceover artist. You’ve heard him on hundreds of radio and TV ads but probably don’t even know it, from clients like McDonalds, Radio Shack, Pet Supermarket, Bacardi and Kellogg’s. Joe Johnson is a 6-time Air Award Winner (Achievement in Radio) and Addy award winner. He’s been featured on CNN, The Today Show and hundreds of television and newspaper stories. In 2015 he was named “Best FM Radio Personality” in the Miami market. He lives in Plantation, FL with his wife Coop, a theatrical production manager.
