About seven months ago, I took a trip throughout the Pacific Northwest to perform some songs I’d written. I first met Johanna Warren at a small house show in Olympia, Washington. After lighting candles and burning some sage, Johanna sat down cross-legged on the floor of the tiny stage and proceeded to mesmerize the audience with her beautiful voice and hypnotic finger-picking patterns. I instantly realized that this was the highlight of my musical vacation. Since then I’ve learned that in 2015 Johanna was named one of four songwriters to look out for by Rolling Stone magazine, and that she’s even started her own record label based out of Portland called Spirit House.
