I recently had the pleasure of speaking with the incredibly talented Johnny Colla of Huey Lewis & The News. Our conversation covered his entire career, including his early days playing with Jack Blades in Rubicon to his time playing with Van Morrison and Sly and the Family Stone. And of course, we discussed his influential role as a founding member of Huey Lewis & The News, a band that has been making great music for nearly 40 years.
Follow Johnny Colla on Facebook, and make sure to check out his newest solo album: I Hear Voices. If you’re a fan of Huey Lewis & The News, you’ll love it.
Below is part one of my interview with Johnny. Part two can be read here.
