Now headquartered in Atlanta, Daddy A Go-Go frontman John Boydston is a born and bred Okie. He grew up in Tulsa, graduated from OU, and is a former producer at KTULchannel 8.
Boydston's an unabashed rocker, blending elements of surf, rock, psychedelica, blues and pop. Also, he began all of this years ago with his two young sons in mind. And, now that his sons are officially teen, they all perform as the Daddy A Go-Go Band. They've rocked Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and the South by Southwest music festivals.
Fifteen album tracks include "A Dog Named Boomer," "Pink Floyd Saves Hugh Manatee," "I Caught My Daddy Watching Cartoons" and "Daddy's Diaper Blues." A version of Harry Nilsson's "Best Friend" is also featured, and replaces Nilsson's warbly falsetto with Boydston's unique multi-vocal harmony, slippery guitar and pared-down drums.
Local TV and movie celebrity Gailard Sartain has done most of the artwork for his albums.
Said Boydston in a recent Tulsa World interview, "When I was a kid growing up in Tulsa, watching Gailard's 'Mazzeppa' show was just something anyone with at least half a brain and a TV in Oklahoma did on a Saturday night."
