COMING MAY 12:

THE JOHNSON GIRLS

An all-woman acappella ensemble has thrilled audiences worldwide

Friday Night Folk at All Souls presents The Johnson Girls in concert May 12 in Unity Hall at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 19 Jay Street, New London, CT.

Widely acclaimed for the powerhouse performances of rousing work sings, haunting ballads and laments, and hair-raising harmonies, The Johnson Girls have performed at major festivals, clubs, coffeehouses, and more across the United States, Canada, the UK, Ireland and Europe, have performed live on Oscar Brand’s radio show, France Bleu radio and appeared on French TV.

The Johnson Girls is an energetic all-woman a cappella ensemble, performing traditional and contemporary music with an emphasis on songs of the sea and shore. With a sound that has been called “exciting,” “haunting,” and “uplifting,”, the Johnson Girls give performances that bring audiences to their feet wherever they go.

Their repertoire includes songs with an Afro-Caribbean influence, of the inland waterways, of fishing, mining, Irish, Anglo-American, Italian, French, and Canadian ballads and work songs, and much more. The Johnson Girls bring a unique interpretation to their repertoire while preserving the traditional roots of their music.

“Whether leading a sing-along aboard the Peking at South Street Seaport in New York or firing up a festival stage, this group is a winner!” – Craig Edwards – Festival Director, Mystic Seaport Museum.
