Johnny Echols Tickets

Johnny Echols, born February 21, 1947 in Memphis, Tennessee, is a pivotal figure in the Los Angeles rock scene and a founding member of the legendary band Love. Growing up in LA, Echols joined forces with Arthur Lee in 1965 to form Love, a group that would help shape the horizon of neo-psychedelic rock. As lead guitarist and a key co-writer, Echols contributed to Love's first three influential albums—Love (1966), Da Capo (1966), and Forever Changes (1967).

Forever Changes stands as a landmark in alternative and folk-rock, celebrated for its intricate arrangements and emotional depth. The record was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2008 and added to the National Recording Registry in 2011, and Rolling Stone placed Forever Changes at no. 180 on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time (2020 edition). Today, Echols continues to perform Forever Changes material and Love classics with the Love Band and the Baby Lemonade lineup, bringing those timeless sounds to audiences around the world, including frequent tours in the UK and Europe.
