Remembering Johnnie High

jony hi

Country music  promoter Johnnie High died Thursday of heart failure at age 80.  He started his Country Music Revue in Grapevine back in 1974.  Through his 35 plus years in the business Johnnie encouraged many young singers and musicians and gave them a place to perform including country great Lee Ann Rimes.

 

In ‘95 he moved his show to Arlington where it continued to be a popular event every Saturday night at the Arlington Music Hall on Center St.  There are many fans and performers in Arlington and all over Texas who are thankful for Johnnie and the shows he put on. This Saturday’s performance has been canceled.
