Nedra Johnson
“Writing songs is like doing an emotional excavation. I do it because I need the healing it brings me. It’s an added blessing that they become meaningful to other people as well, because I know that experience as a fan of other songwriters,” says Nedra Johnson philosophically. An accomplished singer/songwriter on the women’s music scene, Johnson performs with a funk/R&B-influenced style and evocative lyrics about lesbian love, politics and spirituality. A frequent performer at the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival, Johnson has also appeared at numerous jazz and Pride festivals internationally. “I hope that my words can give voice to or be a refuge or a mirror for women especially, but for anyone who just needs to feel like they are not alone. Depending on the song I hope they laugh, cry, rally, dance or have great sex. I hear it all happens.” -CB
