Rock guitarist and vocalist Damon Johnson will take the stage at the historic Pitman Theatre on April 17.
Johnson has been rocking stages for a few decades. In the 1990s he co-founded Brother Cane, and later joined Alice Cooper’s band as lead guitarist. He became a member of Thin Lizzy in 2011 and was also the lead guitarist and co-songwriter for hard rock group Black Star Riders from 2012 to 2018. Johnson has also released several solo albums and his songs have been recorded by many artists including Stevie Nicks and Carlos Santana.
Since July 22, 2021, Johnson joined Lynyrd Skynyrd as temporary replacement for Gary Rossington, who was recovering from emergency heart surgery. After Rossington’s death in 2023, Johnson continued performing with Lynyrd Skynyrd. Johnson was the band’s first member to be from Alabama, though Johnson was born in Macon, Georgia.
Johnson will be joined on stage by Jon Player and Geno Pledger. Balcony seating is available and priced at $35 per ticket.
All proceeds from this concert will be used for improvements in the downtown area of Gadsden.
