Live Music
Solo Gigs - EVERY MONDAY NIGHT AT THE MALTINGS, YORK
An engaging and energetic performer Chris plays a vital mix of hip Americana, alt rock and vibrant folk tunes. A respected musician and songwriter known for his original work with Mostly Autumn, Fish and Heather Findlay, Chris now fronts crossover progressive rock band Halo Blind and plays acoustic versions from his compelling original catalogue at his solo shows.
Band and Duo Gigs
• Stout Boots : folky Celtic pub songs played hard. With guitars, flutes, whistles, double bass, accordion (not all at the same time..) and lots of harmonies. We also play classic rock and pop songs on our folky instruments, as they'd been written as Celtic pub songs...
• Chris Johnson and Angela Gordon: gorgeous folksy-tinged songwriter material, cool original songs and Celtic covers.
• Chris Johnson and Jon Benton: harmony ridden duo versions of classic Dylan, The Byrds, Gram Parsons, Neil Young, John Prine and Steve Earle. Stuff like that.
• Mostly Autumn: UK progressive rock giants. Big, emotive original songs performed in clubs and theatres.
All the gigs are FREE unless otherwise stated (except the Mostly Autumn shows which you'll definitely need to buy tickets for. Check the venues for details.)
