Doug Johns: Pocket Fulla Nasty

Sounds LikeBass 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."

   About Doug Johns
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 09, the 2009 BassQuake, Bass Player Live, and the 2009 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.

Thanks so much, Doug. I just recieved your CDs today. I have to tell you, after I play your tracks on my show, I have been getting phone calls at the station, enquiring about you. I love 'Chez funk', 'Scrumpt', 'Gig Shirt' etc. I had to stop playing you last night, before I was accused of running the 'Doug Johns Show'. Anyhow, If there is any justice in this world, you and Chris will enjoy the success you so deserve. All the best, from your biggest fan in Australia, Lee.

Hi Doug. Without fail, I play you every week on my radio show. I've bought 11 tracks off itunes, Scrumpt and Uum Continue are my favourites. You are in my top four favourite bass players; Stanley, Robert Wilson, Alain Caron and you, good company. Would you like anything else played on the radio? (2 EAR FM...Lees' Funk Show)I'd be honoured. Regards, Lee. Bass player from Australia

If the people who make the decisions are the people who will also bear the consequences of those decisions,
perhaps better decisions will result.
