An LA native, Ned Doheny took his first musical strides as a songwriter. His song “On and On” was recorded by Dave Mason and Mama Cass Elliot in 1971, while the Average White Band included “A Love of Your Own”, written with their lead vocalist Hamish Stuart, on their 1976 album, Soul Searching. Another tune, “Whatcha Gonna Do for Me, written with Stuart, was covered by Chaka Kahn in 1981.

Ned’s second album, Hard Candy, was produced by Steve Cropper and featured such guests as Tower of Power, Tom Scott, Jim Horn, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Linda Ronstadt, and J.D. Souther. Hard Candy is heralded as an AOR/Yacht Rock masterpiece amongst fans, critics, musicians and producers alike. Out of print for years, Hard Candy was reissued on vinyl by Be With Records in 2014.

“To Prove My Love” from Ned’s third album, “Prone” became a dancefloor hit after its first release in 1979 and again in the UK club scene in the early 1990s

Ned performs regularly in Europe and Japan and will be giving an extremely rare full-band performance in his hometown for the first time in decades
