Major Dawson AKA Jonny Ray AKA John Nellist,One of the three finders/creators of the Pschc folk night The Butterfly Cabinet. Major Dawson spends his life, wandering from place to place playing music. Having played with and collaborated with alot of people, the 23 year old has yet to finish his debut album of his solo career. With live reviews of "Haunting lyrics" FLY MAGAZINE, "Psychedelic blues with frantic build ups" GENERATOR, "Pure light from the cosmic boogie dimention" DEVENDRA BANHART, Watch this space for the first info of The Majors music!!!!
Also a collecter of bigbeat psych/prog, Major Dawson spends alot of time playing records and deejaying around venues with his partner in crime DJ Zardoz. When big bands come to The Cabinet the duo tend to finish the night off with a full psych freakout set having the place jumping!
Check out THE HEALING, 3 piece cosmic blues band with Major Dawson, Kev Douglas and Dav Shiel. The best of friends doing what they love best.
Check out BOOGER RED and THE HAPPY ACCIDENTS. Having collaborated with Booger a number of times and a proud Happy Accident! Their music is a unique blend of acid folk with the boho vibes of a NORSE THUNDER GOD!!!! (my opinion anyway)

“ It is a joyful noise that leaves genres completely redundant.” Q MAGAZINE
“a rough-hewn, psychedelic-pastoral gem…” THE INDEPENDENT
“This is the kind of music to bring on the rapture..” THE STOOL PIGEON
“Akron tracks are a revelation.” UNCUT
“It would take a cold heart not to be moved by the psychedelia tinged rock 'n' roll pleasures of these performances.” THE WIRE
"Akron/family are...now roaming all over a wide, open space where antique folk balladry, primal drone and explosive improvisation meet and melt in a woodland psychedelia that answers an age-old musical question: What if Pink Floyd gave birth to Ummagumma in The Band's basement at Big Pink?" - Rolling Stone
For those of you who have seen my simpering, slavishly devotional Akron/Family blurbs and press releases in the past, wherein I make ridiculous claims about them (which I happen to believe!), it should come as no surprise when I reiterate they are one of the best bands on the planet. I dont recall seeing such fantastic live shows ever, except maybe Pere Ubu at the Whiskey in LA circa 1978 or Ummagumma-era Pink Floyd circa 1968/9. Take those unrelated reference points and mix in The Beatles, Chicago Art Ensemble, CCR, The Grateful Dead, The Hollies, The Butthole Surfers, Led Zeppelin, and you might get a notion - probably not. Anyway, thier new record, 'Love Is Simple' (Young God Records) comes the closest to bridging the gap between the chaos, rock action, tribal bongo-banging and sentimental sing-alongs of their live shows and the necessarily more cerebral, or at least worked-over and layered process of recording in the studio.
