Damon Johnson (Black Star Riders, Brother Cane, Thin Lizzy, Alice Cooper) is pleased to announce his first solo electric project with the "Echo" EP, released in March 2016.

His contribution to 'Echo' is immense. I'm very proud to share this music with the world," he adds.
"Echo" Track Listing:
1. Dead,
2. Nobody Usin',
