Sammy Johnson at the Blue Note
The Blue Note features Sammy Johnson on Friday, Jan. 31, and Saturday, Feb. 1, at 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. Johnson has been waving the flag for the Pacific Island sound and has quickly become a leader of the scene, alongside new school artists like J Boog and veterans like Katchafire. An Australian native, Johnson embraces his Māori and Polynesian roots to create uplifting music, blending island reggae, soul and jazz vibes with heartfelt lyrics.
