Welcome! I'm Thomas Johnston, an Americana singer/songwriter from Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, USA. Please enjoy the site, especially the music.
WELCOME TO 2026! While 2025 was extremely challenging with the death of my little sister, Anna, the music sustained me. The healing power of music is amazing!
I am so grateful for the success of my 7th (6th full length) solo album, "Whiskey Road"! It contains 10 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. These are exciting times, as I continue to play a lot of shows, and I am looking forward to playing new venues this year.
My original songs are influenced by classic Americana, classic Country, classic Rock, and Irish music. All 7 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 was VERY busy with 171 gigs; heck, I played 20 shows in September 2023 alone! The years of 2024 and 2025 were busy as well!
Please check my shows schedule on the site, and join the email list.
Thank you so much for your support...Slainte!!!
