This show is for everyone, all the ages, from your teenage daughter, through the generations to grandma.
Johnny, who is only 17, earned his stage name from judge Kyle Sandilands during his run on Australian Idol, where he reached the top six.
“On the show, I was given the nickname ‘Johnny Jukebox’ by Kyle Sandilands, a name that has stayed with me and reflects my connection to classic, crowd-pleasing music,” he said.
“That experience gave me a strong foundation in ’50s rock and roll and the timeless sound of jukebox classics, which continues to shape my style today.”
The performer said his path to Idol was unexpected.
“My Australian Idol journey began while I was temporarily based in Adelaide due to my parents’ work,” Johnny said.
“I auditioned simply looking for opportunities and didn’t expect the outcome but was selected and progressed through the competition to the top six.”
The show will feature a mix of music spanning from the ’50s to the present day, with a focus on ’50s and ’60s classics, including hits from artists like John Farnham and Olivia Dean.

Johnny said his live show spanned decades of music.
“I sing songs from the ’50s right through to this current day, but mostly ’50s and ’60s,” he said.
“We have some classics from the ’80s, like John Farnham through to very current singers like Olivia Dean in the show.
“I find Sweet Caroline is always a huge hit that gets everyone up and going and is one of my favourites to perform.”
The all-ages event requires ticket holders under 16 to be accompanied by an adult with a valid ticket.
This means it is the ideal show for local dads to spend time with their kids at a live gig, just like their experience of a Taylor Swift concert, without leaving town.
A limited number of VIP packages are available, including priority reserved seating in the front three rows, a post-show meet-and-greet and a professional photo with Johnny.
Tickets can be booked by searching Johnny Jukebox Echuca on Eventbrite or by calling the Echuca Worker’s on 5482 3140.
The event is family-friendly, requiring attendees under 16 to be accompanied by an adult with a valid ticket, making it a great opportunity for local dads to enjoy a live gig with their kids.
