John D’Aoust d. 2022

In-demand on stage and in the studio, John was one of the most solid drummers around. Completely at home playing rock, funk, pop or country, he was also a solid back-up singer – with a great ear and an ability to “hit the high notes.”

Diagnosed with throat cancer in April 2020, through radiation and chemo, putting up a brave fight but eventually losing the battle, John passed away December 19th, 2020, at 64 years of age. Because of Covid pandemic measures, any kind of event to mark his passing was not possible until recently. On Sunday, November 20th, friends and family gathered at the Prescott to raise a glass, and share a story or two in his memory.

As John would say, “Même chose en français.”
