LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Las Vegas local John Howard Bobo is living out a lifelong dream as a Party Animal with Banana Ball, and the experience has taken him from viral videos to Yankee Stadium.
We first spoke to Bobo last year when he was a team member hopeful following his viral "Banana Ball Rap". Now, he's a full-fledged Party Animal.
Bobo will continue playing at Las Vegas Ballpark this weekend as part of the Banana Ball tour, which sold out in the Las Vegas Valley.

"We played in Yankee Stadium last week and like we talked about before, that was a dream of mine. That was my grandma's dream of hers to see me play in Yankee Stadium. So it's been chaotic. It's been all over the country, but I'm enjoying every second of it," Bobo said.
The past few months on the road have included learning new dance moves, viral videos from stops in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Sacramento, California, and performances set to music ranging from Tame Impala to Hannah Montana and Dua Lipa.
