Bio
Johnson's Crossroad has taken their love of old time mountain music, bluegrass, and the Texas singer/songwriters of the 1970s to create a sound that they have coined "Bent Acoustic Country". The band's original material is steeped in the traditional country themes of lost love, lost fortune, lost time, and overcoming hardships.
About
Johnson's Crossroad has taken their love of the old time mountain music, bluegrass, and the Texas singer/songwriters of the 1970's and put their own stamp on the ever widening and increasingly popular Americana genre. Beginning in the small town of Lewisburg, WV, Johnson's Crossroad performed the songs they love and began to craft their own material as audiences began to grow. In an attempt to locate musicians who could devote the time it takes to be a successful touring band, Paul Johnson and Keith Minguez headed south over the Blue Ridge Mountains and decided on the budding music scene of beautiful Asheville, NC. And with their debut album "Blood in Black and White" they bring together some of Asheville's finest musicians to perform their original material. Steeped in the traditional country themes of lost love, lost fortune, lost time, and overcoming hardships Johnson's Crossroad have found a unique voice and with "Blood in Black and White" they give country music fans an alternative to the "polished" sound, staying true to the roots that have made country music great.
Keith Minguez—Mandolin, Harmonies. “The deader, the better” that’s the country and old time music that drives this New Jersey native. A successful, working glass blower, Keith’s Life is dedicated to music and art. Keith has made a career of bringing practical and passion together and marrying his enviable talent with equally enviable drive and ethic.
Justin Eisenman-Bass Fiddle, Harmonies If you knew that this Wisconsin native was an excelsior flatpicker on the guitar and the mandolin, not to mention a writer of original bluegrass music, then you may begin to appreciate the subtlety and restraint he’s bringing to the songs back there on the stand up.
Matthew Chase-Dobro, Harmonies If you don’t know, you better ask somebody. Stick around for a whole Johnson’s Crossroad set, stay for their break and if you’re lucky, Matt will play solo. This Mainer’s career stands out in it’s own right. Presence, proficiency, performance, Power.
