New Projects

Hello all!
It has been an incredible time these past few years; a lot of change and growth. Many ideas have been flowing through my mind and it is high time I make them a reality. That is why I am very excited and happy to be cultivating one of my ideas, the Daria Johnson Trio. This group will be rooted in the soul with an emphasis on jazz. I am really looking forward to bringing to you all my new music with this group. Stay tuned. I just finished recording my demo for my beautiful project and I can't be more excited! With this complete, I can now focus on more live shows for you and then, wait for it... my album which I am planning on recording in spring of 2014. Oh yes!!

One of my other ideas I am working on is a jazz quintet with long time musical partner in crime trumpeter Dan Herrera. This project is still un-named, but rest assured that once we've got that going, I will get you in the know. I'm very thrilled about this project as it's been a dream of mine and Dan’s for a long time. We'll be doing original arrangements of tunes and some originals. It's gonna be good.
In addition, just because I just can't get enough of playing that jazzy swang, I will be performing around town with my other jazz trio D's Trē. With this project, I'll be playing more jazz standards to get you in the mood to swing and sway.

I was also working on my blues band Sister DeeDee Johnson. Bringing together two (maybe three) of my longtime friends to bring some bluesy grooves your way. This group is all about the blues and fun. We will take a walk down many blue avenues and boulevards persuading your feet to dance and your soul to weep. Yep, talkin' 'bout dem blues!
And of course, you can see me with my usual musical suspects like Eoin Harrington, Sean Leahy, Shantytown, Vudustu, Jon Mulvey, Vortex Tribe and many, many more.

Keep on the lookout for the above-mentioned projects. I also have a few other projects up my sleeve, so get ready! Yes indeedy I AM gonna tempt your tummy with the taste of nuts and honey!

Who loves you baby? I DO!!
