Jim Johnson Music

Welcome to

JJ2005

Jim was born and raised in Northern Virginia in a house full of music.  He began playing guitar in his early teenage years, and eventually added banjo, mandolin, harmonica, and several other instruments to his musical addiction.

 

Later, after raising a family and a career in telecommunications, he became intrigued with songwriting and joined the Songwriters Association of Washington, serving five years on its board of directors.  In 2005, he released a solo CD titled "Horseshoes and Hand Grenades" containing 16 original songs.  That same year, he was a founding member of  the singer/songwriter trio, "Harley String Band" recording three CD's and receiving two Wammie nominations with that group.
