John Doe Live At 12 Bar Club London
John Doe came with band to play the legendary 12 Bar Club in London. A stunning 46 minute performance with full band backing packed the tiny club to the edges and the show kept them on their feet as you just can’t sit when his group, with Billy Zoom on guitar, plays like there is no tomorrow. Great melodic music punctuated with poignant lyrical attacks.
Who is John Doe?
John Nommensen Duchac, known professionally as John Doe, is an American singer, songwriter, actor, poet, guitarist and bass player. His musical performances and compositions span rock, punk, country and folk music genre Doe co-founded LA punk band X, of which he is still an active member.
In addition to X, Doe performs with the country-folk-punk band the Knitters and has released records as a solo artist. In the early 1980s, he performed on two albums by the Flesh Eaters.
As an actor, he has dozens of television appearances and several movies to his credit, including the role of Jeff Parker in the television series Roswell.
As a musician with X, Doe has two feature-length concert films, several music videos, and an extended performance-and-interview sequence in The Decline of Western Civilization, Penelope Spheeris’s documentary about the early-1980s L.A. punk scene.
Since 1990, Doe has recorded nearly a dozen albums as a soloist or in collaboration with other artists, and has contributed tracks to motion pictures. In the 1992 movie The Bodyguard (starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston), it is Doe’s version of “I Will Always Love You” that plays on the jukebox when Costner’s and Houston’s characters are dancing. That song was released on audio cassette by Warner Bros. in September 1992, but no version is believed to exist on CD. He co-wrote and played on the song “Lobotomy” with Tyler Willman for the 1998 debut studio album of the band Calm Down Juanita.
Where is the John Doe today
Doe took part in Todd Haynes’s 2007 movie I’m Not There, recording two Bob Dylan covers, “Pressing On” and “I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine.” Both recordings were included on the film’s soundtrack, and the former was prominently featured in the film, with Christian Bale (as Pastor John Rollins) lip-synching Doe’s vocals. Doe recorded the song “Unforgiven” in 2007 with Aimee Mann on A Year in the Wilderness, an album which also featured Kathleen Edwards, Jill Sobule, Dan Auerbach. He then joined with Eddie Vedder on a mix of the song “Golden State” in 2008. “The Meanest Man in the World” by Doe was featured in Season 4 of the television series Friday Night Lights and included on the second soundtrack album. Country Club (2009), featuring Canadian indie rock band The Sadies, covered country classics along with original songs.
