BA Johnston is a Canadian songwriter and self-described ‘failed showman on the skids’ who has been touring relentlessly back and forth across Canada in his mum’s minivan for over a decade.
Along the way, his incomparable performances have become the stuff of legend, garnering him a rabid cult following of devoted and only moderately deranged fans, who come back time and again to revel in the sweat and beer-soaked, simultaneously self-abusive and joyous insanity of a BA Johnston show.
BA Johnston’s 11 studio albums are a journey through the mind of a man who has an uncanny ability to pick apart the minutiae of the daily life of the insecure everyperson and put them on proud display in both satire and sincere celebration. He is the blue-collar loser-hero troubadour the world needs now.
