Johnny Dowd will perform at Cluny 2 in Newcastle upon Tyne on 23 April 2027. The American singer/songwriter will present songs from his first two albums, showcasing his unique style that blends dark humour with introspective themes. This performance marks his return to the UK after a long absence.
American singer/songwriter/cult hero Johnny Dowd returns to the UK with Mike Stark and Mark Lotterman, playing songs from his first two albums, Wrong Side of Memphis and Pictures From Life’s Other Side. Its a couple decades since we actually booked Johnny but it will be worth the wait….
More than 25 years on, the songs on his debut & second albums remain as strange, darkly funny and uncompromising as ever. Past, present and future collide in a once-in-a-lifetime musical introspective.
Johnny says ” . I am really looking forward to this one. Come see me before it’s too late.”
“If Willie Nelson turned into Mr. Hyde, he’d be Johnny Dowd. Backwoods Gothic tales of love & death” – New York Times

Line-upJohnny Dowd
Johnny Dowd (born March 29, 1948 in Fort Worth, Texas) is an American alternative country musician from Ithaca, New York. Typical of his style are experimental, noisy breaks in his songs and strong gothic (in the sense of dark and gloomy) elements in the lyrics as well as in the music. There is also a strong undercurrent of black humor and the absurd in his work.
