Check them out if you are looking for a great band at the squares. I checked out their calendar, and they also play at Katie Belles.

Johnny Wild and the Delights have been performing here about two years now. The first six months they were Johnny Dee and the Starlights, but copyright laws made them change their name but not their act. They perform at each square once a month and Katie Bells and have had several tribute shows at Savannah Center. I was at their second show here ever, it was in July I guess 2016 at SS and they wore those suits and ties the whole time and the temps were in the 90's. I think they dress a little cooler now.
Johnny Wild is probably close to overtaking Rocky & Rollers in drawing power. I was at a Johnny Wild Brownwood show this past February and every chair and all the bleacher seats were filled by 4:30, the entire place was ringed with people, it was the largest crowd there I've ever seen except for a 2013 Florida Lottery show with the original Flamingos, I think they had 6,000 that night and City Fire and Five Guys were the only restaurants open at that time.
