Welcome to Johnny-Drama.com

Hi, I’m Candido Bretto – bass player, lifelong musician, and proud member of Johnny Drama and His Funky Entourage.

Over the years, I’ve had the incredible privilege of performing alongside some true legends of rock, including Barry Goudreau and Sib Hashian of the multi-platinum band Boston, and Mike Stone of Queensrÿche. But one of the most unforgettable chapters of my musical journey began when I joined forces with Johnny “Drama” Alves, whose big heart and bigger personality helped inspire the hit HBO series Entourage, and the A&E series Wahlburgers.

Becoming the bassist for Johnny Drama and His Funky Entourage wasn’t just another gig—it was a full-blown adventure. Rehearsals felt like mini concerts, filled with funk, laughter, and that signature Drama energy that could light up any room. We weren’t just a band—we were a family, bonded by music and good times.

This website was created to celebrate that spirit and to give fans, friends, and funk-lovers a front-row seat to the fun. It’s also part of a bigger mission. As the founder of PartyBands.com, I’ve made it my goal to champion live performers and help connect amazing bands like ours with the people who need them—whether for weddings, parties, or unforgettable nights out.

So welcome to Johnny-Drama.com. Kick back, explore the grooves, and enjoy a taste of the entourage life.
