William Johnston at SJZ Break Room

About

William Johnston is a genre-defying multi instrumentalist from San Jose, finally stepping into his own after a decade of accompanying some of the Bay Area’s top talent. His music is a truly original synthesis of many things, drawing from the wry wit of Steely Dan, the rhythmic elegance of traditional Brazilian and Cuban music, and the folky RNB of Al Green. William’s candid and delicate vocal stylings lay over a bed of his signature greasy rhythm guitar, creating a truly timeless experience.
