An Evening of Songwriting- Featuring Carrie Johnson, Libby Johnson, & Julia Russo
July 17 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm | $10
From Right to Left: Carrie Johnson, Libby Johnson, Julia Russo
It is said that the best songwriters put their life into their music, and the Johnson sisters have quite the life to write about! Both Carrie and Libby Johnson have traveled the globe and performed in bands (including the critically acclaimed 22 Brides) and solo ventures. Wanderers, Pop Stars, and Mothers, their music reflects their storied lives with depth and feeling born from experience.
At seventeen years old, Julia Russo may not have the same life experience as her mentor Carrie Johnson, but she does have a talent for soulful writing and alluring vocals. Though still a young star, she is already selling out shows in Boston and New York.
Individually, these performers are spectacular. Together, they are pure magic.
