On Friday, August 5, 2022 Two Way Street Coffee House Friday Night Concert Series presents Michael Johnathan.
Among the throngs of artists in the music world, few have elevated “dreaming” to such a high art form as folksinger Michael Johnathon. He recently won the prestigious Milner Award of the Arts in 2020, presented by Governor Andy Beshear in Kentucky. The Painter a tribute the Vincent Van Gogh, is his 17th album release. Cosmic Banlo, released earlier this year, is a celebration of the long neck banko. His 19th album, AFTERBURN: Folk at Arena Level will be released the end of May.
This past March, Michael organized the collection of over 1,000 musical instruments that were distributed FREE of charge to folks in Mayfield, Dawson Springs and Owensboro that had their homes and live decimated by the massive tornados.
Michael created the worldwide organization of SongFarmers, with nearly 100 active chapters from Australia, across America and Ireland as an alternative for musicians struggling with a changing music world. Their 6th National Gathering of SongFarmers will happen at the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame the last week of April. On April 30, WoodSongs will be inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame with a huge exhibite featuring the history of the show and include the original, autographed stage sign used on over 1000 broadcast taping.
He is a touring songwriter, author of six published books, the screenwriter for the upcoming Caney Creek motion picture, playwright of the Walden Play performed in 42 countries, composer of the opera, Woody: For the People, organizer of the national association of front porch musicians called SongFarmers, the full symphony performances of SONGS OF RURAL AMERICA and as the creator and host of the live audience broadcast of the WoodSongs Old Time Radio Hour with a radio audience of over two million listeners each week on 500 public radio stations, public television coast-to-coast, American Forces Radio Network in 173 nations and now on the RFD-TV Network nationwide.
