The Chris Johnson Band

Chris Johnson is a singer/songwriter/guitarist who was born on the east coast, raised in the mid-west and schooled in life on the west coast via a Chevy Nova. He’s currently back to living the good life with his wife and dogs in the upper mid-west.

Seeking balance in life is important to Chris, and it is certainly no different in his writing. The subtle blending of melodic and harmonic counterpoints help define him as a songwriter. Gifted with an uncanny judge of human nature, Chris has also found a talent for melody work, writing music that is particularly well suited for today’s contemporary market. Through his collaboration with various artists, Chris has also become an able producer and engineer, with excellent skills in ProTools, Logic Audio and digital music production.

As a performer, Chris was fortunate enough to have earned his guitar chops while performing with some very talented people.
