Will Johnson Biography
Birthday | Mar 23 |
Birth Year | 1971 |
Will Johnson is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on March 23, 1971 in Kennett, Kennett, United States. Will Johnson (born March 23, 1971) is an American musician, singer-songwriter and painter who is the lead singer of the bands Centro-matic and South San Gabriel. Called “one of the most prolific artists in American indie rock”, Johnson has also released solo records, and is a member of the bands Monsters of Folk, New Multitudes and Overseas, and has also performed as part of the Undertow Orchestra.
In February 1997, Johnson started performing full-band Centro-matic shows with Mark Hedman on bass guitar and Pence on drums. Choosing to keep things informal, the band’s first rehearsal was held after its second show. In March 1997, Danbom joined the band on piano, fiddle, bass guitar and vocals. Centro- matic continued to record and tour extensively in the United States and Europe under the same lineup until deciding to disband in 2014.
With his Centro-matic bandmates, Johnson formed the band South San Gabriel in the spring of 2001. It resulted from Centro-matic wanting to collaborate with and include other musicians while experimenting with a more spacious and atmospheric approach to writing and recording. South San Gabriel has a fluid lineup, with the band performing with anywhere from 3-10 members. South San Gabriel has released three full-length albums, plus EPs and singles.
According to Johnson, Bob Andrews, the manager for the four musicians, had the idea in 2005 to create a band called the Undertow Orchestra from members of the Undertow Music Collective. Johnson said Chesnutt was adamant that the shows not feature any solo performances, with the members working to play each other’s songs as backing musicians.
Centro-matic began as a four-track cassette project when Johnson returned to college in May 1995. It was the first time he had written and sung songs, and later that year saw the release of the cassette Non-Directional Jetpack Race. A handful of 7-inch releases followed, and Johnson began playing live under the Centro-matic moniker in March 1996 as a solo performance with electric guitar and vocals. In December 1996, Johnson recorded the first Centro-matic full-length album, Redo The Stacks. Johnson played all the instruments except violin (Scott Danbom) and cello (Lindsay Romig), with longtime friend Matt Pence engineering the lo-fi record.
