Institution/Business Type: Performing Group


Johnny Fireseed & The Junkyard Dogs uses instruments made entirely from trash, recycling, and re-purposed items to perform original music with an upbeat eco-message.

 

The Soundtrack For the Sustainable Future

Landfills and "locally harvested trash" are the birthplace of our beautiful and sometimes whimsical, professional grade handcrafted "trash" instruments! In a collaboration of musicians and artists we design and create our own instruments in our solar powered Massachusetts studio (take a look). Then we hit the road, sharing a unique message of joy, fun, and new ways of thinking about waste and consumption.
