Growing up in Albany, Georgia, under the influence of the hot southern sun and tranquil southern moon, amidst old pecan plantations, spanish moss, whispering pines, cotton fields, peanuts, watermelon patches, cold water springs, and snake infested swamps, Matt Evan Johnson (MEJ) inherited the intoxicating-spirit of southern life, family, friends, and great southern music!
Early in life, MEJ caught his southern music fever, and was developed under the influence of authentic southern music, from country, rhythm and blues, to kickin' southern-rock, to get-down' southern-gospel music. From age 7, he was formally trained on symphonic-trumpet and jazz-guitar. At age 18, he found his voice and his bass-guitar, and has been performing as a vocalist/bass-guitarist in numerous southern bands, from then to now.
MEJ delivers captivating live performances with southern style, grace, and powerful emotion! He stays true to his southern roots music, which he considers a true southern art.
"Every show should be an emotionally intoxicating experience!"
- Matt Evan Johnson
