Sunset Johnson

I play New Acoustic Music. I came up through playing American country blues guitar, but I now write my own songs on guitar and piano. I love a stripped down acoustic sound - I'm more 'Pink Moon' than 'Bryter Layter'! Pepople seem to enjoy it, so I keep writing 'em.

School bands. Semi professional musician at college. Got married. Gave up playing. 25 years later began writing again. Became internet overnight sensation...

Of course! I suppose the highspot this year was playing the annual Nick Drake Tribute at his home village of Tanworth-in-Arden, England.
