Think Miranda Lambert meets Sheryl Crow with a touch of Brandi Carlisle, and you’ve got KC Johns, an artist with a voice all her own, with songs that make you feel like you’ve known her forever. Having discovered her stage legs young, KC was featured in Dolly Parton’s “Christmas Coat of Many Colors,” at Dollywood and cruised around the world performing nightly for international audiences. She next made her way up the mainstream music ladder, opening for artists like Luke Bryan, Chris Young, Randy Houser, and Trailer Choir and now plays Nashville’s most popular Broadway stages, fairs, festivals and venues around the country.
Known for her singles “Confused” and “Whiskey Break”, which was featured in a nationally distributed documentary about the legendary venue, Washington state’s the Gorge, she released a full album in 2022, Thunder. She also had a globally popular single release of Meredith Brooks’ “Nothing In Between,” a tribute and cover of the hit 90’s pop anthem on the 25th anniversary of its release.
Then came “Rodeo Queen”! A true tipping point. Almost 200,000 streams, so far, nominated a Top Ten Song by the Texas CMA along with reaching #28 on the Texas country radio charts. “Rodeo Queen” is an upbeat rocker, awash with country steel and roaring guitars. It features an edgy hook topped with a personal touch.
KC is continuing an aggressive touring and recording schedule after wrapping up more than 200 shows in 2024 and is already filling 2025 with stage shows, casinos, festivals, clubs, and international events.
