Johnny Vines

Johnny Logan Vines, 57, passed away on March 24, 2016 at his home with his family by his side in Cypress, Texas. He was born March 11, 1959 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Johnny grew up in Harahan, Louisiana. Growing up in the Big Easy laid the foundation for Johnny's passion for music where he began singing in his first band at the age of 14. This led to a life-long love of music, singing in bands such as Tabu, Stratus, Savage White and Lillian Axe. After five years of touring and opening up for several national acts, Johnny left New Orleans for Denver, Colorado to front the band, Killian Dare. Two years later, he headed back south to Houston, Texas where he spent a short time with Apache Black and then his namesake band, Logan. After 23 years, Johnny was inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of fame along with his original Lillian Axe band mates. In 2011, the original Lillian Axe got together again and formed, Circle of Light, producing a CD of never recorded songs from the early years and played the Louisiana and Mississippi market.
