Dave Johnson
Biography
Dave is a songwriter, multi instrumentalist and producer from the port city of Fremantle Western Australia. Johnson’s song writing sweeps all of the clichés of mass-produced music under the rug and tapping into everything that makes genuine country/folk music unique and beautiful: raw emotion, deep groove and clever storytelling. Dave has also amassed a huge list of popular covers so he is well equipped for any occasion from camp fire sing along to concert hall presentation. Dave is also part of the trio- Folk like us- astounding 3 part harmony vocal arrangements of well chosen favourites. Perfect for a Sunday arvo family friendly beer garden.
