JOHNNY JOHNSON

A thirteen song C.D. that explores the prairie experience, longing for home and being Canadian. Johnny P. Johnson has ventured off on his first solo project. It has been in the making for over two years, but really started fourteen years ago after Johnny moved to B.C. (Kootenays) from Saskatchewan, via Alberta and Manitoba. Johnny originally comes from a farming background in Saskatchewan and his music could be called roots - folk - country.
Johnny started singing gospel music at an early age and later moved to song writing and performing with Kootenay bands (the nerV and more recently the Midnight Harvesters). Whether performing at Merrit Mountain Music Festival, Hootenany in the Hills, writing the theme song for the B.C. Summer Games, receiving an invitation on Morning side Radio, CBC, or singing at folk clubs and peace rallies, Johnny seems to have a connection to the spirit of music. Although his roots are reflected in his music, the album takes on a Canadiana feel with songs about Manitoba, Newfoundland and of being Canadian.
