Ernie Johnson

Continuing along the soul-blues path forged by greats like Bobby “Blue” Bland and Z.Z. Hill, Ernie Johnson is among the best of the remaining soul blues artists. A Louisiana native, Johnson relocated to Texas where he took an opportunity to open for Lavelle White and stole the show. Shortly thereafter, Johnson formed his band The Soul Blenders and recorded his first single, “Lovin’ You,” in 1968. Johnson has five albums under his belt including 2001’s release “Squeeze It.”
