John Davis (singer-songwriter)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Davis (b. April 12, 1974 in Tennessee), was a founding member of the rock band, Superdrag. Davis' primary roles in the band were that of songwriter, singer and lead guitarist. By the time Superdrag was beginning work on their fourth full-length record, Davis was an alcoholic. One night as Davis was driving, he felt the presence of God. Davis gave up alcohol at that moment, and turned his life to Christianity. This inspired the metaphoric title of Superdrag's fourth album, Last Call For Vitriol. On March 8, 2005, Davis released his first solo album, playing all instruments on the record, with the exception of some bowed strings and percussion. The self-titled record, John Davis is a combination of his signature pop melodies and a devout faith in God. In March 2006, John put alternate versions of the songs from his album on his website. Davis has finished recording his second solo album titled Arigato!, which was released October 2, 2007, at shows and by pre-order. He is also currently a member of the Christian rock band My Red Hot Nightmare, where he is a guitarist, backing vocalist, and second string drummer.
