JOHNNY JOHNSTON - TUNES FOR OUR TIMES
Johnny has been entertaining Fort Collins music lovers with his hot fingerpickin’ slide guitar and soulful vocals for the past 30 years. Johnny is well known for his award-winning "hot fingerpickin' slide guitar and soulful vocals". Fans appreciate Johnny's renditions of old-time acoustic blues and his bluesy originals.
These days, Johnny's performances feature many of his new "Tunes for Our Times". While musically, these new songs are rooted in the acoustic blues styles of yesteryear, the song lyrics come from Johnny's heart and focus on current issues that confront us every day - much in the style of Woody Guthrie, early Bob Dylan and Jesse Welles.
Johnny's accolades include: Winner – Mile High Blues Challenge (Mile High Blues Society), Featured Performer - Rocky Mountain Guitar Heroes (Rialto Theater), Winner - Telluride Acoustic Blues Competition, Winner – Best CD 2016 “Colorado Blue” by Johnny Johnston (Mile High Blues Society, Colorado Blues Society), more than 1.5 million streams on Spotify.
