Welcome
Welcome! I'm Thomas Johnston, an Americana singer/songwriter from Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, USA. Please enjoy the site, especially the music.
I am so happy to announce the release of my 6th (5th full length) solo album, "The Troubadour"! It contains 14 original songs, all recorded at SonDad Studios (founded by myself and my son, Stephen)! You will find the album and tracks for download in the MUSIC section of this site. Physical CD's can be purchased in the STORE section (and I'll sign them for you). These are exciting times, especially coming off the success of 2021's "Traveling Companions"!
My original songs are influenced by classic Americana, classic Country, classic Rock, and Irish music. All six of my CD's are available on this site, and they are also on CDBaby, ITunes, Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify, and, of course, at my shows. You can listen to individual tracks in the MUSIC section.
After playing 105 shows in each 2016 and 2017, I had the great fortune of playing around 300 shows from 2018 thru 2019! COVID has restricted the number of venues I could play in 2020 and 2021, but I was fortunate to have a busier show schedule in 2022. And 2023 has been VERY busy; heck, I played 20 shows in September alone! I am on pace to break my record for shows in a year!
Please check my shows schedule on the site, and join the email list.
Thank you so much for your support...Slainte!!!
