The person responsible the lush sounds the audience hears of Johnny, his musicians and orchestra Lee Rickmers. “I started with Mathis in 1988 as a monitor mixer. That is just for the people on stage to hear themselves. I did that till the position was absorbed by the House Mix position. I liked the people I was working with so I drove the equipment truck”
After the House Mix person left, Lee was offered the position and hasbeen with Johnny since. “I’m still learning every show, and I’m glad Mr. Mathis has the patience to let me get better. He is the best at what he does, and I couldn’t have a better job. I know it’s good when I get to play with big stereo equipment and get paid for it! Not too bad.”
Lee retired from touring with Johnny and Rojon Productions in 2015 to spend more time at home in Las Vegas.
