Introduction: What people have said: "Equally at home at a campfire or a coffeehouse. He speaks from experience and his teaching tone is compassionate and direct. Dylan and Tom Waits, but without the triple meaning phrases and with a much better voice. This cat is the real deal." –A.J WACHTEL, THE NOISE "Amazingly talented songwriter...free spirit and witty lyrics...his folk sound is mesmerizing. We could listen to him for hours!" –Green Team, U Maine Orono "A new singer-songwriter on the Austin scene influenced by Todd Snider, John Prine, and other hard travelin' road warriors. His star is on the rise!" –BOB LIVINGSTON, Singer-Songwriter –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Penn Johnson is a ripped pants revolutionary and americana folk mutt weaving collective consciousness. His SoulFolk Storytelling is a combination of true stories and spoken word music. Through groovy strums, contagious lyrics, and raw authentic energy, he encourages audiences to release their spirits through movement and reflection. He mostly sings about trees, bees, and keepin' the peace at campfires, yoga studios, coffeehouses, and traditional venues. Penn also offers his cooking services to those who desire a healthy vibrant lifestyle. In addition to Penn's many originals, he'll learn certain songs (with a little extra compensation for his time) and plays covers of John Denver, Langhorne Slim, Old Crow Medicine Show, Todd Snider, Kris Kristofferson, John Prine, Townes Van Zandt, Trevor Hall, Nahko & Medicine For The People, and more. Knowing you made someone's day or night or played a song they loved makes it all worthwhile. Music is about community. Music is, first and foremost, about love and connection.

Penn came all the way from his home in Massachusetts to the University of Maine to perform at our first annual EarthFest concert on Earth Day. He was outstanding, and his music brought good vibes and originality that only he could bring. His songs told stories, covered current events and fit the theme of our concert perfectly. Penn is an awesome singer/songwriter and I hope everyone has a chance to listen to his music!

Jayson, you are an angel. Looking forward to coming back next year for Earth Fest round 2 and Hope Fest! Let me know as soon as the committee forms and we will figure everything out. Have a good summer brother! Hope to see you around soon :)

Penn did an incredible job playing for our Yoga Around Town class on Spectacle Island. His understanding of yoga and the style of class we were planning was so helpful and his professionalism plus personality made him a perfect fit. Our group thoroughly enjoyed his music and we will certainly plan to book Penn again in the future. Thanks for an awesome day, Penn!
