SUMMARY:Son of John: Capitol Homegrown
DESCRIPTION:Son of John doesn’t quite fit the mold – on purpose. As an Alternative Country Americana/Roots duo from the southern interior of British Columbia that has country music running deep in their veins\, their authentic sound can’t really be labeled\, and it depends on who you ask. Comprised of Javan Johnson\, a singer/songwriter in his own right\, but also a 4x BC Country Music Fiddle/Mandolin Player of the Year nominee\, and Johnny P. Johnson\, a seasoned solo artist\, songwriter\, and front man over the past 25 years\, Son of John’s storytelling and rootsy instrumentations – fiddle\, mandolin\, steel\, banjos\, dobros and harps – is a product of a family bond making music together for almost two decades. Officially joining forces in 2017\, with signature harmonies only the same DNA can create\, Son of John is a homage to their shared last name\, and a perfect blend of two generations of country music. \nhttps://www.sonofjohnmusic.com \nThe Capitol Theatre

DESCRIPTION:A journey of sound\, sight and story about how one woman loses her innocence at a young age due to cultural inequity\, whilst navigating a terrain foreign to her ancestors. Being displaced\, moved from land\, uprooted\, is intergenerational. How does a young woman who’s been colonised for centuries free herself? This is her story.
