Just got official word that Johnny will definitely be playing with The Kids this weekend at the Sheila Witkin Memorial Reunion Concert in Pompano Beach, FL. Here are the details:

Date: Sunday, Jan. 28, 2007
Doors Open: 4 p.m.
Venue: Club Cinema, 3251 North Federal Highway, Pompano Beach (Miami), Florida

They are reuniting in honor of Sheila Witkin, mother of Johnny’s bandmate Bruce Witkin, who passed away last year. She was a major inspiration for many in the South Florida scene, so a number of other bands from that era will also be supporting. Below is the line-up in full:

• The Kids
• Z-Cars
• Slyder
• Critical Mass
• Tight Squeeze
• Charlie Pickett
• The Cichlids

All proceeds will benefit the Sheila Witkin Foundation and the Dan Marino Foundation.
