About
Son of John is an Alternative Country Americana/Roots duo from the southern interior of British Columbia, whose debut album "Lucky", produced by John Ellis was released in November 2023.
Son of John doesn't quite fit the mold - on purpose. As an Alternative Country Americana/Roots duo from the southern interior of British Columbia that has country music running deep in their veins, their authentic sound can't really be labeled, and it depends on who you ask. Comprised of Javan Johnson, a singer/songwriter in his own right, but also a 5x BC Country Music Fiddle/Mandolin Player of the Year nominee, and Johnny P. Johnson, a seasoned solo artist, songwriter, and front man over the past 25 years, Son of John's storytelling and rootsy instrumentations - fiddle, mandolin, steel, banjos, dobros and harps - is a product of a family bond making music together for almost two decades. Officially joining forces in 2017, they've been nominated for 4 BCCMA Awards for Traditional Country/Roots Artist of the Year. With signature harmonies only the same DNA can create, Son of John is a homage to their shared last name, and a perfect blend of two generations of country music. Often performing as a duo, Son of John has the ability to get the dance floor buzzing, or entrance any listening room with lyrical storytelling and harmonies. Add a stand-up bass for a trio, a utility player for a 4 piece, or a drummer for a full-band, Son of John is a versatile group, experienced at live performing in any venue, having appeared at multiple venues, from soft-seat theatres to bars across Western Canada, with notable performances at the iconic Dream Cafe in Penticton, BC, the Roxy Cabaret in Vancouver, Gabby's Country Cabaret in Langley, The OK Corral in Kelowna, and the Calgary Stampede. Son of John notably opened for the legacy act, The Bellamy Brothers as a duo to 600 seat, sold-out theatres as only a duo, to standing ovations.
