| Carolyn Dawn Johnson |
|
The fresh-faced songwriter who originally hails from Northern Alberta drove 60 hours from her
then home, Vancouver, BC, Canada to build a career in Nashville. She seemingly never looked
back. She never had to. Arriving in 1995, Johnson developed her skill and reputation as a
songwriter while working odd jobs to pay the bills. A publishing deal led to cuts by artists
including Jo Dee Messina, Patty Loveless, Kathy Mattea and more. Her first No. 1 as a writer
came in 1999 with Chely Wright's "Single White Female." “This album was approached in a different way because it happened in a new stage of my life, while I became a mother,” says Johnson. “Most of the lyrics reflect the life I observed around me during this special time. I didn’t think everyone would want to hear an album about motherhood, so I chose songs that weren’t necessarily about me, but rather some of my favorite things to sing about.” Carolyn Dawn Johnson will vie for the 2010 Female Artist of the Year award against Terri Clark, who grew up in Medicine Hat, Victoria Banks, Jessie Farrell and Crystal Shawanda.

2010 sees the return of Carolyn to the radio and record marketplace after taking some time to
start a family all the while writing songs for her own projects or for others. Her new album coproduced
by Frank Rogers will be worth the wait - full of all the gems she has been storing up,
now ready to shine. Her first single “Let Me Introduce Myself” came onto the airwaves with
welcoming arms grabbing the #1 most added spot two weeks in a row. Her album “Love Rules”
will be released early in the summer in plenty of time for people to learn all the lyrics before she
heads out across Canada for her first tour in almost 4 years.
Tickets: $45.50
