Anna Johnson is a girl who makes music from the deepest part of her heart. It's intentionally simple/stripped/sincere so people feel what she feels. Effortless. Beautiful. No unnecessary words. No unnecessary flash. Lyrics and music from her soul to yours. Alison Krauss meets pop meets Norah Jones meets something honest and true.
In 2008, Anna won the hearts of the legendary rock band Queen, when they heard her song "Flowers On Monday" and gave her a full 4-year scholarship to pursue songwriting at McNally Smith College of Music in St. Paul, MN.
After one year of training, Anna moved to Music City, Nashville, TN to record her national debut album, "Ready To Go".
Since its release in May 2010, Anna has shared the stage with musicians like Colbie Caillat, Jim Lauderdale, John Carter Cash, Orla Fallon and others!
Anna is endorsed by the world-renowned guitar company, McPherson Guitars, and is working on her 4th recording - an earthy-pop EP - at McPherson Studios in Nashville, TN.
Along with her independent recording career, Anna is touring with her Nashville band, painting and selling her own artwork, writing with various established musicians and working her way around the country as she wins people over one show at a time.
Anna Johnson's music can be found on itunes world-wide. "Ready to Go," has been described as "an expressive mastery of melody, cool and catchy, brilliantly arranged, and achingly gorgeous." With the natural voice of an angel, tight harmonies, and excellent lyrics, the album is a masterpiece of expression and emotion.
