About Damon:
Damon Johnson is an American guitarist, vocalist, entertainer and songwriter from Geraldine, Alabama (current resident of Nashville, TN), best known for his work as frontman for Brother Cane, guitarist for Alice Cooper and Thin Lizzy, and currently as guitarist for Black Star Riders. Johnson’s list of other writing and recording credits include John Waite, Stevie Nicks, Carlos Santana, Sammy Hagar, Queensryche, Faith Hill, Skid Row, and The Temptations. He has also been a member of several high profile side projects, including Whiskey Falls and Slave To The System.
Johnson first came on the national music scene as the frontman, guitarist and principal songwriter for Brother Cane. The band released three albums on Virgin Records (selling a cumulative of over 500,000 records) that would yield three #1 singles on rock radio (“Got No Shame,” “And Fools Shine On,” and “I Lie in the Bed I Make”). Brother Cane toured extensively as a headliner and also as a supporting act on tours by Van Halen, Aerosmith, Robert Plant, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Candlebox. The group disbanded in 1999.
Johnson has also issued two solo acoustic albums: “Dust” (2000) and “Release” (2010), featuring his daughter, Sarah, on two songs and a cover of Alice Cooper’s “Generation Landslide” (featuring Cooper himself on harmonica and some vocals). Johnson and frontman Ricky Warwick are principal songwriters for Black Star Riders, who’s 2013 debut was titled All Hell Breaks Loose. The band’s sophomore album titled The Killer Instinct was released in 2015.
