New York based singer/songwriter Libby Johnson grew up in a musical family, where from a young age she experimented with writing, playing, and singing music. By her teens she was writing songs and traveling as a performer. “We moved quite a few times during my childhood, including a five year stint in Nairobi, Kenya, and that nurtured my love of traveling” she says. After studying jazz piano and voice, Libby landed in New York, working as a session vocalist, playing piano bars, and eventually forming the band 22 Brides with her sister, singer/guitarist, Carrie Johnson in 1993. Critically-acclaimed for their blend of sixties-pop, swirling folk harmonies, and haunting lyrics, 22 Brides released three well-received albums on the Zero Hour and Universal labels and spent the 90s on the road touring.

Libby’s solo debut, “Annabella,” released on indie label Wrong Records in 2006, saw her development as an artist and songwriter on her own, with four of the songs featured by director Bart Freundlich in his film “Trust The Man.” Drawing from a paintbox of the folk and blues and gigantic helpings of the Beatles she listened to growing up, Johnson’s songs are noted for their evocotive lyrics and her distinctive voice. “Annabella” went to round two of Grammy nominations in the category of “best Americana” album 2006.
