LOVE with Johnny Echols sees Arthur Lee’s longest serving band continue to perform the classic songs from Love’s first three albums Love, Da Capo, Four Sail and of course the timeless Forever Changes.
This isn’t just a nostalgia trip – their shows are drawing in an increasingly younger audience as teens and students are discovering the timeless music produced by these 60s legends performed by a band that is truly on top of its game.
Johnny Echols: “I so look forward to performing LOVE’s extraordinary music to an appreciative audience. We perform much of Forever Changes, as well as favourites from our extensive catalogue… a few deep cuts as well as a few surprises!”
Joining Johnny Echols on stage is Baby Lemonade who from 1993 until Arthur’s death in 2006 performed as his band and became an essential part of the renaissance of LOVE’s music.
This iteration of LOVE saw many sold-out tours, including a US tour with the Zombies, as well as back-to-back performances at the legendary Glastonbury festival (UK) and appearances all over Europe.
LOVE is:
Johnny Echols: Guitar, Vocals
Rusty Squeezebox: Lead Vocals, Guitar
Mike Randle: Guitar, Vocals
David “Daddyo” Green: Drums
James Nolte: Bass
The neo-psychedelic quartet Baby Lemonade formed in Los Angeles, and debuted in 1994 with the six-song Wonderful EP, released on the Sympathy for the Record Industry label. Following the record’s release, the band — comprised of singer/guitarist Rusty Squeezebox, guitarist Mike Randle, bassist Dave Chapple and drummer David “Daddy-O” Green — accepted an invitation to tour with Arthur Lee in a reunited version of his legendary band Love; a flurry of major label interest followed, but in the end Baby Lemonade remained with Sympathy, for whom they recorded 1996’s full-length 68% Pure Imagination. Exploring Music, their first record for the Big Deal label, followed two years later and High Life Suite was released in mid-2000.
