Intriguing...easily remembered melodies and arrangements done in a style reminiscent of The Beatles that immediatley pulls the listner into the poetic world of Edgar Allan Poe.
Bio / Background
Johnny Gidley, a farm boy from Salado, Texas, grew up listening to the music of the 60’s and in particular, The Beatles. He formed his first band, Johnny & The Silvertones, in 1964 with fellow high school classmates Berry Evans, Tom Brown and Harold Mersiovsky. The group fast became one of the most popular groups in Central Texas releasing their first single “Got No Love’ in 1966 under the tutelage of Joe Treadway on TSM Records. And then Johnny was off to the U.S. Navy in 1967 to serve on the U.S.S. Cabildo but upon his return rejoined the group in 1969. The group had been renamed The Buccaneers by then and was being managed and booked by J.E. Brown, the bass players father. After a seven-month stint as the house band at the old S & S Club in Temple, Texas the group disbanded but later regrouped with only the bass player Tom Brown as an original member.
Johnny was married in 1971 and began a solo career playing a variety of venues throughout central Texas.
