THE 'FAKE' ABOUT US:
JohnnyandChachi.com is more than just a website...it’s people. Johnny 'Tippins' Lang and Chachi Laruso have been best friends since 10th grade when they met at Phillips High School in Blue Eye, Missouri.
Interestingly enough, they met through a locker. Johnny was bullied into a locker and it was Chachi who came to his aid. In the words of Johnny ‘This was the beginning... the beginning of the end and the beginning of the beginning’.
Soon after, Johnny and Chachi formed a band called Hair Supply and seeked to corner the market as a cover band. Their goal was to record other people’s music, and take it up a notch.
In 2005, they decided it was time for a change and decided to start a ministry, Get In Here Ministries. Now based in Sioux City, Iowa, their ministry is committed to changing lives, one life at a time (unless they can change some at the same time).
