If it's been recorded in New Orleans in the last 50 years, there is a good chance Daryl Johnson has lent his talent to it.  WIth all that time backing the greatest musicians in the world, the universe has seen fit that NOW is Daryl’s time to get out front.  From the moment Allan Toussaint produced him in a studio at 14, Daryl’s prodigious gifts on bass, keyboards, and soulful vocals made him a global Crescent City musical ambassador touring worldwide with legends like Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris and the Rolling Stones.  He became go-to bassist and vocalist for the legendary Daniel Lanois as Daryl appeared on timeless Lanois productions with Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel , U2, and eventually produced several of Daniel's own albums.  A cousin to the legendary Neville family, Daryl spent decades in playing with the Brothers cementing his place with theirs in New Orleans musical history.  Having spent a half-century making the greatest musicians on earth sound like the legends they are, Daryl Johnson is finally ready to walk those last twenty feet to stardom.   Book him for your venue today!
