Soulful sounds of Stephanie Anne Johnson

Pacific Northwest Americana songwriter and performer Stephanie Anne Johnson’s (they/them) voice is like a prayer. It’s the kind of sound that makes you feel renewed, refreshed and in love with the higher spirits of the planet. It’s a sound you can bask in, that can wash over you and regenerate the best of you all at once. And they have wowed judges on the immensely popular NBC TV series, “The Voice,” showcasing their gifts.

Johnson will perform on Saturday, Jan. 31, at 7 p.m. on Orcas Center’s main stage. They will also play on Jan. 30 at Lopez Center for Community and the Arts and on Feb. 1 at the San Juan Community Theatre.

Johnson has opened for acts that include political figure Bernie Sanders, and artists such as The Indigo Girls, Macy Gray, Mavis Staples, Taj Mahal, Robert Cray, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Steve Earle, Cedric Burnside, and Mason Jennings, among many others.
