Aaron Johnston grew up in West Tennessee and has deep bluegrass roots stemming from growing up playing music with his father and singing harmonies with his brother. He moved to Louisiana after a stint in Nashville and having lived other places across the country, ultimately deciding to call Lafayette home. He has played music around Lafayette for the past few years with different lineups of musicians and songs, but his sincere vocals and songwriting have remained constant. Aaron backed up by his band The Southerniers combine driving Americana with a smooth country twang.
