Event Details

The premiere episode of PPLD's Artist of the Knight Program.  This series aims to provide library patrons with a glimpse into creatives in the Pikes Peak Region.  This episode features music and an interview with local musician Joe Johnson.

Raised an hour drive from New Orleans in Mississippi, a state that has produced the very core of American music, Johnson grew up with great respect for the blues, gospel, and country sound that has defined the area's artistic heritage. Joe's own family has contributed to that great legacy. His Grandfather, the noted early Nashville Country artist B.J. "the D.J." Johnson, was a recording engineer, disc jockey, and Grand Ole Opry performer and many in his family were and are well known Gospel performers.
