TJ Johnson is widely considered to be one of the UK's most charismatic, highly revered Jazz/Blues singers. Songs of the night, songs of hope & despair, taking you on a musical trail from the jazz dives of New Orleans, the foot-tapping Honky Tonks of Texas to the Hip Speakeasies of New York. He is also a hot piano player and respected bandleader. He was presented with Best Blues Singer by Jools Holland at the 2018 Boisdale Music Awards.
"Best Blues Singer" – Jools Holland
"TJ Johnson is a great entertainer, swinging piano player, and soulful jazz and blues singer. We're so lucky to have him on the UK Jazz Scene" – Jazz Guide
Drawing from a rich eclectic mix of influences such as Dr John, Ray Charles, Jimmy Witherspoon, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, and Willie Nelson, TJ shapes the music into his style with a professional yet relaxed stage manner.
