About Me

Major Dawson AKA Jonny Ray AKA John Nellist,One of the three finders/creators of the Pschc folk night The Butterfly Cabinet. Major Dawson spends his life, wandering from place to place playing music. Having played with and collaborated with alot of people, the 23 year old has yet to finish his debut album of his solo career. With live reviews of "Haunting lyrics" FLY MAGAZINE, "Psychedelic blues with frantic build ups" GENERATOR, "Pure light from the cosmic boogie dimention" DEVENDRA BANHART, Watch this space for the first info of The Majors music!!!!Also a collecter of bigbeat psych/prog, Major Dawson spends alot of time playing records and deejaying around venues with his partner in crime DJ Zardoz. When big bands come to The Cabinet the duo tend to finish the night off with a full psych freakout set having the place jumping! Check out THE HEALING, 3 piece cosmic blues band with Major Dawson, Kev Douglas and Dav Shiel. The best of friends doing what they love best. Check out BOOGER RED and THE HAPPY ACCIDENTS. Having collaborated with Booger a number of times and a proud Happy Accident! Their music is a unique blend of acid folk with the boho vibes of a NORSE THUNDER GOD!!!!
