The Love band featuring Johnny Echols sees Arthur Lee’s longest serving band perform classic songs from Love’s first three albums
The Love band featuring Johnny Echols sees Arthur Lee’s longest serving band perform classic songs from Love’s first three albums 'Love', 'De Capo' and 'Forever Changes' as well as some special deep cuts for the last time.
From 1993 until Arthur’s death in 2006, the band Baby Lemonade performed with him, being an essential part of the renaissance of Love’s music. This iteration of Love saw many sold out tours, as well as back to back Glastonbury performances and an appearance on Later with Jools Holland.
Joining Baby Lemonade is Love’s original lead guitar player and founding member Johnny Echols, who was part of the classic line up that recorded the seminal 'Forever Changes'.
Johnny Echols and Arthur Lee were childhood friends whose families both moved from Memphis to Los Angeles. Teenage Johnny & Arthur teamed up to form the groups Arthur Lee & The LAG’s and the American Four before they formed Love in 1965. The classic Love line up featuring Johnny disbanded in 1968. Johnny reunited with Arthur Lee in 2005 to perform with Love once more.
