Johnny D’s Is No More

Those of who frequented Johnny D’s in Somerville’s Davis Square section will miss the quirky vibes of the place from its inception as an outlier of country in the urban oasis back in the day when that genre had its minute in the Boston area before fading from more hubris than the legendary country singer Sleepy La Beef could shake a stick at. Many jazz aficionados got juiced up on jazz there during the brunches. Many more blues aficionados got strung out with the likes of Luther “Guitar Junior” Johnson to Taj Mahal to James Montgomery (a long-time hanger-outer at the establishment). More importantly all the later genre of new music which drew in the younger crowds (and did not draw me and mine) got their big first starts, or first big showcases, there. Adieu Johnny D’s.
