John Davey, “Summer Nightwind,” // GemsOnVHS™
My old pal, my good buddy, damn near the first GemsOnVHS, (and hopefully the last when its all said and very much done) Mr. John Davey. The Midwest’s biggest hero, back in the saddle with me in Duluth for a quick session outside the venue. I’d somehow convinced John to drive from his home in Marquette, Michigan to the Jason Dea West (w/ Pine and Fire) show in Duluth. Just a quick 5 hours or something, but it was the closest i’d probably be for a long while. We of course had to film a song. For old time’s sake! With his girlfriend, Greta Hillstrom!
John is one of my favorite songwriters, and one of the few people I trust to release banger after banger, year in and year out. He has never put something out that I haven’t loved, and his bandcamp is chock full of treats. I recommend taking a look. Hell, buy an album. After his daughter was born, John joined the National Guard, and he’s shipping out in October for a long duty. Your purchases will keep him on Monster energy drinks and what not while he does whatever tf Uncle Sam is demanding of him.

John Davey back! Such an underrated writer and musician, love the tune! He and Greta have such great chemistry singing together, kinda reminds me of that song you recorded of Josh O'keefe and his wife singing together.
