M.L. Johnson

Portland-based songwriter M.L. Johnson beckons listeners into a realm suffused with folk nostalgia and poignant melodies. Drawing from the rich tapestry of 60s folk, Johnson's music resonates with an authenticity that harkens back to the era's introspective troubadours. Echoing the soulful strains of Bert Jansch, John Martyn, and Fred Neil, Johnson's melancholic fingerstyle compositions are a testament to the enduring power of raw emotion.
Nestled in his basement studio, Johnson crafts his sonic vignettes using analog tape, infusing each track with a warmth that feels both timeless and intimate. His introspective lyrics, delivered in a hushed croon, invite listeners to explore themes of solitude, yearning, and quiet revelation.
As Johnson prepares to unveil his debut single in the summer of 2024, anticipation builds for a journey into the heart of his melancholy muse. With every dusty chord and whispered confession, M.L. Johnson invites us to linger in the bittersweet beauty of his musical landscape.
