Formation (1989-1990)
Scott Johnson was born Jerry Scott Johnson on October 28, 1966 in Mt. Pleasant, Texas, where he began singing in church and school choir as a child. He began writing songs at age 14 and joined his first band at age 18. Johnson eventually realized that, in order to make it in the music business, he would have to move away from Mt. Pleasant. “I felt like I had to get out of Texas," Johnson confesses on the band's Celebration Highway (2007) DVD concert film/documentary. "I couldn’t get a job to support my music habit and I had some friends that had family up here in Baltimore, so we moved up and that’s where Bonepony got started, was in Maryland.”

“That for which Paul lived and died so gloriously; that for which Jesus gave himself to be crucified; the end that animated the thousand martyrs and heroes who have followed his steps, was to redeem us from a formal religion, and teach us to seek our well-being in the formation of the soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
