Bass Player Magazine (Feb. 2009) says about Pocket Fulla Nasty:
Doug Johns continues to make a case for himself as one of the most credit–deserving bass virtuosos in America... it's his inventiveness that's consistently compelling.
~ Bass Player, February 2009
Here's what Bass Musician Magazine.com (Nov. 2008) has to say about Pocket Fulla Nasty:
"Doug's playing is very deep and chocked FULL of groove and pocket... nothing but great bass work and a stellar band! A very heavy lesson in groove-ology is in store with this one... Highly recommended." ~Damian Erskine
Here's what Bass Player Magazine said about Doug's first release:
"Ohio-based Doug Johns gets his rocks off on some seriously hyper-fueled large-band funk on this brash, daring solo debut."
"Imagine Tower Of Power with Victor Wooten on bass."
"Anyone who's got a big enough pair to violate the "No 'Stairway To Heaven' rule" in such flagrant fashion- and still make it work- deserves a listen."

SESAC is proud to support Doug Johns For more info go tosesac.com
Cleveland-based musician Doug Johns has more than 25 years of bass experience. Performing on local, national, and international stages, Doug has had the opportunity to play with many great talents, developing and furthering his own playing style and technique. Going on the road at a very young age, he honed his groove on stage with many soul, funk, blues and jazz bands, realizing they were all connected by the rhythm of the soul.
Doug’s raw presence, energy, and all-around crowd-wowing prowess can be heard on numerous recordings and stages. Believing that a good musician surrounds himself with great musicians, Doug has had the privilege of working with such greats as Victor Wooten, Buddy Miles, Otmaro Ruiz, Dana Rasch, Oz Noy,the LA Mass Choir, Grammy-winning producer Aaron Lindsey, Steve Smith, and many others. The culmination of these musical experiences led to the 2006 release of Doug Johns’ self-titled, debut CD.
Currently, Doug is back on the road promoting his second CD, POCKET FULLA NASTY, released in October 2008. Doug can also be seen on national stages with his two-man project, The Doug Johns Duo, featuring drummer Chris Ceja. In addition to numerous club, clinic and festival bookings, look for Doug and Chris at the Summer and Winter NAMM, the 2010 BassQuake, Bass Player Live, and the 2010 BassBash.
Doug Johns is a great talent, a professional studio musician, and an undeniable stage presence; however, he would rather you think of him simply as a hard working, loyal, and well-rounded person. When he’s not playing music, Doug finds time to design and fabricate professional drag race cars. He can also be found hiking the primitive backcountry of Utah’s canyonlands. In any arena, he’s a man worth meeting.
