Huck Johns (musician, Huck Hats)

Huck Johns is musician and hat maker.  He spent a long time in the music business and has some cool experiences such as getting a call from Slash inquiring about trying out for Velvet Revolver, writing a song with Kid Rock and touring with Ted Nugent.  He has since left Hollywood and moved to Tennessee and focused on making custom hats.  Some people who have worn his hats include Jeff Beck, Billy Gibbons and Jake Kiszka (Greta Van Fleet).  It was fun chatting with him and hearing his insights and stories from the music business!
