Junkyard Jonny is taking the picture. The 4 person Recycled Circus show is Junkyard Symphony at it's best as is often a favourite for corporate events. At this show Junkyard Symphony unveilled a new piece of equipment, the wheel barrow/table/drumset which worked out fabulously. It stays mostly assembled in the trailer so there is not much set involved. Story Links: Recycled Circus Chateau Montebello Oct 6, 2021 Boogie Ball Building at the Byward Market Junkyard Jonny brought Junkyard Symphony's Boogie Ball Building down to the Byward Market to audition for a busker's permit, and was successful. Boogie Ball Building is an awesome game of imagination, inspiration and artistry in which players must guess where the marble is going to land. It's a fun game for any event and definitely adds a calm ambience.

The Healthy Planet Show was also a feature of the streetfest which worked well in combination with the game. Thankfully the weather cooperated for most of the weekend, although one show was postponed due to rain. Circus Delights was also as the fest with a collection of their own facinating games. All in all it was a fun time! Story Links: Launchball Aug 24, 2021 Junkyard Symphony in Smiths Falls Junkyard Jonny shows the audience how big his popularity is, while Juke Box Jimmy groans.

The students certainly had lots of fun and the neighbours didn't mind. It was a great solution for a situation where the pandemic has seen most on location shows canceled. If only every school had a local forest nearby! Story Links: Rhythm and Recyling Workshop Collège catholique Samuel-Genest Nov 22, 2020 Junkyard Symhony's Boppin' Beats Buggy Junkyard Symphony created a new junk contraption called the 'Boppin Beats Buggy'.

On Nov 22 Junkyard Jonny and Compost Chris toured 4 locations in Kanata performing very successful shows. The neighbours brought out their pots and pans and buckets and happily jammed along.

The rain came down in buckets before the show, and the stage was slippery and 12 feet up in the air, but none the less, Jonny and Sacha put on a great show. (Right image) Playing to cars can be a bit challenging because the only reaction they can give you is a honk of a flash of the lights, but despite their limitations, the cars seemed to really enjoy the Junkyard Symphony show. There was a lot of honking!

Story Link: Owl Rafting (Right image) The show Junkyard Symphony has been performing at OWL Rafting is Launch Ball, a game in which a ball is launched into a plinko box to determine the number of spaces the player will move along a gameboard. The player will then be asked a trivia questions about OWL Rafting or the Ottawa River. If they get the question right, marbles are put down the Marble Mansion to give the player bonus points. If the player passes Go, Jonny does a fabulous trick. It's a really fun game! Story Link: Photos of Junkyard Symphony at OWL Rafting by Chris Butler Photography

March 3, 2020 The Jonny O Show at Rockland Public School Junkyard Symphony produces various other shows such as the Jonny O Show, which was featured in this year's Blues in the Schools. This is a picture of Jonny's set up at Rockland Public School. The show style and rhythmic content is similar to a Junkyard Symphony show, but the set up is a traditional drum set rather than junk. The 60 min Jonny O Show is less expensive than a 60 min Junkyard Symphony show, which is in part why it was created. Junkyard Symphony's main goal is to provide quality entertainment to the community at reasonable prices, so if you cannot afford a Junkyard Symphony show, perhaps The Jonny O Show is in your budget. Story Link: The Jonny O Show February 16, 2020 Junkyard Symphony at Winterlude Junkyard Symphony set up on the canal at 5th ave for OLG and Winterlude for two shows in the afternoon. It was a warm day for winter, but Junkyard Symphony made it even warmer with their funky rhythms! Jan 27, 2020 Junkyard Symphony's Funky Fiesta at the Crystal Beach Lakeview Community Association Winter Carnival (Left image) Junkyard Jonny poses for a facebook promo shot. The show is about to begin at Maki House in Crystal Beach. The promo worked because the gathering room was filled to the brim. (Right image) The set up for the Funky Fiesta show is quite extensive despite the fact that it is a solo show. It's well worth the price. Story Link: The Funky Fiesta
