Penn Johnson

Penn Johnson channels and projects stories through song. His sound is a genre as-of-yet undefined, but his true-to-life lyrics, acoustic melodies, harmonic rhythms, and passionate verses echo an era that once collected the masses. Some call it medicinal folk – other simply recognize the music flowing through him inspires dancing, conscious thought, and healing connection. A Massachusetts native, Penn has traveled the country solo for the majority of his young adult life. His first memoir Trail Mix & Goon: Adventures Abroad in Oz was published at age 26. His debut studio single Burn a Little Sage was released independently in October 2018 and was a semi-finalist in the 2018 Music City Star Song Competition. It was followed shortly by Circle Forming in November and his first solo acoustic release Echo in January 2019. He will be releasing more songs and touring extensively in 2019.
