Johnny Spampinato and the Value Leaders

The Value Leaders play souped-up boogie rock and roll. Based on the rich fishing grounds of eastern Cape Cod, the band plays nationally and toured Japan in 2019. Johnny Spampinato is The Value Leaders’, well, leader. A rock veteran who has toured the world with NRBQ and The Incredible Casuals and even appeared on “The Simpsons”. Johnny plays a mean lefty guitar and sings. Mark Usher plays guitar. The rhythm section is comprised of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist J. Cournoyer on bass along with Sam Wood smashing the drums. They began playing together in 2017 as The Spampinato Brothers Band. After Joey Spampinato retired from touring, the remaining members were unanimous in their desire to move forward and launched The Value Leaders in 2019. In 2019 they toured Japan and have more recently rocked shows up and down the east coast. Their debut album “Remo is a Dreamer” was released last year on Quaking Bog records. Says drummer Wood, “There’s nothing better than being on the road and doing what you love with friends.”
