About the Band
#1 on the RMR Radio Charts for acoustic blues in March through May of 2026, the core of Brother John is the duo of veteran Philadelphia blues artists, Johnny Never and John Colgan-Davis. The name “Brother John” reflects the strong bond of their musical partnership. Johnny Never has been performing Delta and Piedmont style blues for over two decades and John Colgan-Davis has been performing since the 1970s. He performed with Bonnie Raitt, recording with her at WMMR in Philadelphia, and toured with Sparky Rutger and the John Cadillac Band.
Mr. Never brings roots blues into the 21st century as a gifted guitarist and consummate song writer. “Brother John are energetic performers with instantaneous appeal. They fit together like hand to glove on this delightful, mostly original set that’s packed with plenty of traditional feel.” - BLUES BLAST MAGAZINE
