One of the most popular musical groups on the local scene is Joey D and Johnny B. Rockin’ Oldies Band. One half of the duo, John Bishop, said he is often asked how they manage to get so many gigs.

“We do between 130 and 160 shows a year, which is a lot,” he said. “When I get asked, I often answer with whether they carry around business cards. That’s one way to get the word out. I carry them around all the time and hand them out when I meet people.”
