“Cathouse piano and a roadhouse voice...”

Deseret News


“If you like New Orleans Style, Boogie-Woogie Blues, then you’ll like this.

”Blue Cat Blues


“With his rough, roadhouse voice, and an ability to pen a strikingly poetic lyric...Johnsen is a superb pianist, mixing technique and emotional commitment in equal measure.”

Blues Blast Magazine, October 2016 review of Trouble Blues


A great musician, and my student.” 

Charles “Merry Christmas Baby” Brown
