Timeline

1925

Over the next two years, Johnson would go on to perform a record release show for the Deluxe Anniversary Hemi-Vision 25th Anniversary album, this time re-recording all parts himself and again performing guitar and vocals live along with friends Warren Haynes, Chris Robinson, Rich Robinson, Colin James, Jason McCoy and a rousing edition of "If I Had My Way" closing out the show that saw hundreds of fans videos edited into the performance.

It was such a feat that the record release show had to be delayed a day as Johnson put it all together in his studio.

Critical acclaim accompanied the release of a one season "GJ in the SoundShack" series on YouTube that saw Gordie Johnson in a weekly episode talking (and occasionally performing) about a myriad of topics from songwriting to recording to a detailed look at equipment he uses.

As the world opened up again, "One Man Big Sugar Show- The Acoustical Sounds of Gordie Johnson" started touring and brought his massive, well known and highly influential songbook to life with an acoustic performance drenched in blues and folk music that inspired Johnson's Big Sugar catalogue.

It consists of tales of triumph and disaster, spoken by Johnson.

In 2022, Big Sugar returned to the stage with a new show and lineup.

After the tragic death of Garry Lowe, Gordie Johnson spent the previous four years reimagining Big Sugar and is proud to announce new bassist, Ben Lowe, the 22 year old son of Garry.

"Our music has always been about roots and culture and this is a perfect piece of that evolution. You can hear Big Sugar in Ben's DNA."

A renewed Big Sugar also includes former tour mates drummer Joe Magistro (Black Crowes, B52s) and Scandinavian indie rock phenom keyboardist Kat Ottosen.

Johnson has earned numerous gold and platinum records with his band Big Sugar and as producer or musician with such acts as The Trews and Default.
