Johnson, who grew up on the North Shore, has had a series of hit albums featuring his laid-back acoustic style, with five going platinum and four reaching the top of various Billboard charts. An accomplished filmmaker as well as twice Grammy-nominated musician, Johnson also has made sustainability one of his top priorities, with proceeds from many of his concerts going toward “green” programs.
He will be going on tour starting in June, his first in three years.
