Adam Johnson

Country, Rock, Alternative, Blues, R&B, Pop, Jazz

Rooted in the soulful heart of Jackson, Tennessee, the city that made rock and roll a reality, Adam brings a sound shaped by storytelling and the rhythms of the South. Drawing inspiration from gospel, soul, and Americana traditions, his music speaks to both personal and collective journeys—songs that wrestle honestly with struggle, hope, and the pursuit of justice.

With over twenty years of performing and songwriting experience, Adam crafts melodies that blend lyrical depth with emotional resonance. Whether in a full band setting or stripped-down acoustic sessions, his work echoes artists like Bill Withers, Allen Stone, and John Mayer—earthy, earnest, and unafraid to ask hard questions.

Jackson’s deep cultural legacy has been instrumental in shaping his sound. From old hymns echoing through church walls to front porch jam sessions with local musicians, this city has offered not just a backdrop but a heartbeat to his creative process.

Currently at work on new material for an upcoming debut EP, Adam continues to perform across the region, connecting with audiences who are hungry for music with soul and substance. His songs invite listeners into a space where belief and doubt can sit side-by-side, and where melody meets meaning.
