Johnny Rude began his career in radio hosting a 10p-2a show on a Top 40 radio station and hasn’t stopped since! He’s been in Austin since 2014 and highlights along the way have included doing shots with The Marshall Tucker Band on the side of the stage, to hanging out with Billy Idol backstage and watching Steve Stevens sit on the floor in front of a full length mirror applying his own make-up, and a strange stare off with Scott Weiland as he walked onto stage!
When not working you can find Johnny Rude on a stool at possibly any local dive bar with a cold beer in my hand, or out on the golf course. Most likely in the bar however…
