About
Riley Johnson’s laid-back vibe and sound, along with his evocative and thoughtful lyrics, take you away, and down a slipstream of stories and melodies. Sometimes introspective and sometimes a conveyer of amusing wit, with the possible intention of painting some sort of scenery in your mind, Johnson always brings a touch of magic.
Born in southern Connecticut, and steeped in music growing up, Johnson began playing guitar at a young age. Originally playing lead guitar in blues and jam bands, by his late teenage years, Johnson began writing his own songs and took to a more fitting, mellow singer/songwriter vibe. His taste for country, folk, and rock n' roll comes to a unique form in his songs and live performances.
Riley was voted "Best solo Musician" in Connecticut by CT Magazine in 2024.
In November of 2022 James Taylor shared Johnson's cover of "Carolina in My Mind," check out the video in the Music section.
