Jay Johnson is a Dallas-based multi-award winning singer/songwriter. Among his most recent accolades, Jay was voted Male Vocalist of the Year at the 2005 MTM Music Awards (mytexasmusic.com) in which he and his band at the time received the most nominations (6) in the history of the show, including Song, Album, Musician and Entertainer of the Year. Jay was also selected as a Regional Finalist in the 2004 Sony/USA Network Nashville Star TV Show and currently has 5 of his songs being considered for placement in upcoming film and television shows.
The 18-year veteran performer has shared the stage with such talent as Jackson Browne, Pat Green, Willie Nelson, Charlie Robison, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Steven Fromholtz, Gary P. Nunn and countless others. Jay’s style of writing is as diverse and all encompassing as the writer himself and his writing savvy has been compared to James Taylor, Jackson Browne and Townes Van Zandt.

The Beach Boys with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra Beach Boy trivia: Though surfing was a prominent theme in many of the Beach Boys' early songs, Dennis Wilson was the only original member who surfed.
