Johnny High Ground is singer/songwriter Joe Rybicki. (Also: lyricist, guitarist, bassist, percussionist, loop arranger, PR manager, recording engineer, producer, roadie, and web designer and editor — i.e., me. Hi there!)


…Except when it’s not. For a brief time in 2001, when Cheaper Than Skydiving was recorded, the band featured Mike Shin on bass and backing vocals, Mark Manzo on drums, and me on guitar and vocals. (I also had the help of Brian Hegedus in writing the lyrics for “End of the Line,” and of Lee Pugsley in writing the main verse riff for “Happily Ever After.”) And one of these days I’ll blackmail some new musicians into joining me for various musical endeavors.

I’ve put together four collections of music — fine, I’d guess you’d call them “EPs” — which can be found here, here, here, and here. And anything I’m currently working on goes here.
