Brother John
John Colgan-Davis and Johnny Never
Since 2018, the two Johns have formed a musical bond that embodies the spirit of brotherhood in the blues. The Blues is universal. It knows no bounds and cares not about race, creed, gender, religion, or ethnicity. Brother John is the act that centers around Mid-Atlantic blues artists Johnny Never and John Colgan-Davis.
Johnny Never’s 2020, Blue Delta, Album earned some rave reviews and radio play all around the world. John Colgan-Davis’ harp is woven throughout the 14 track album produced shortly after the two met.
Johnny Never – Guitars and Vocals
Johnny Never is a highly regarded finger-style blues guitarist, singer and songwriter, who has studied and performed Delta and Piedmont style blues for decades. His music is inspired by the old-time blues masters such as Blind Boy Fuller, Robert Johnson, and Charlie Patton, but he is no mere musical mimic. Johnny is a great song writer whose robust new interpretation of the vintage blues sound is laced with a contemporary creative flair but feels so very honest to the spirit of the original blues music. His own compositions possess the qualities of the genuine article, delivered through deft finger-style guitar work and heartfelt vocals. He performs both solo and with accompaniment in blues and folk festivals, bars and music halls, from Memphis to Canada. Johnny and Harmonica Player, John Colgan-Davis were quarter finalist in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in 2024.
John Colgan-Davis – Harmonica
John Colgan-Davis started playing the harmonica in local blues and folk clubs back in the late 1960s while he was still a high school student. He played and recorded with Philadelphia singer-guitarist Jesse Graves and played and recorded with Bonnie Raitt when she lived in Philadelphia in the early 1970s. Through Bonnie, John got to meet and play with Mississippi Fred McDowell, Arthur Crudup, Buddy Guy, Skip James, Mississippi John Hurt, and others. He has toured the Midwest and recorded two CDs, Cold and Lonesome on a Train and Heroes and Hard Times, with Tennessee bluesman Sparky Rucker. He performed and toured for three years with The John Cadillac Band. He is a founding member of The Dukes of Destiny.
In addition to being a blues-man, Johnny is also a painter. His work can be seen at www.johndorchester.net. John studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art in Philadelphia back in the 1980s. He completed this portrait of John Colgan-Davis in June of 2023. It won the Director’s Choice Award at the 2023 Butler Institute of American Art’s annual national exhibit.
