Keith Johns • Folk
Miami, Florida-based folk artist Keith Johns wasn’t always a folk artist. All throughout his formative years, science and music had raged an internal war for first place of his attention. After earning a degree in Applied Physics and taking a job running particle accelerators, it seemed that the former had won out and his charming folk songwriting was destined to be only a dear hobby. And yet, the music persisted, and the universe contrived to change things. Keith Johns crafts dynamic, beautifully orchestrated Indie Folk music that reflects the variety of emotions present in all of our lives: at times joyful and celebratory, at times sorrowful and longing. He delivers richly nuanced stories in his unique voice with lyrics that are soulful and honest.
