With one of the longest running “sideman” gigs in the industry, Davey Johnston shares his first meeting with a young, shy Elton John, how early trust propelled them into playing together for 50 years and what it was like watching the rise of a super star throughout that time. Davey takes us through it all, his early days playing the pubs in Scotland to his surreal and terrifying transition playing in Los Angles with his idols, as well as unbelievable backstage, on stage and after party stories with John Lennon.
