"Penn's charm is rooted in his sincerity. His songs are unpretentious and entirely heartfelt. It's impossible to listen to his voice and not feel a little more hopeful about human evolution. He deserves to be heard from a festival stage with a thousand voices singing along."

Biography
Penn Johnson is a ceremonial musician, soul guide, and steward of Pachamama who attunes to the song lines of the Earth to awaken deep remembrance. rooted in folk medicine and woven through mycelial wisdom, his music bridges ancient ways with the now — offering transformational experiences that stir the spirit and call you home to yourself.
each offering — whether a song, a live experience, or a private session — is a portal. his voice carries the vibration of truth, reverence, and raw emotion, holding space for healing remembrance, and reconnection — with self, spirit, and source.
he is not here to entertain. he is here to serve. these are not concerts. they are ceremonies — sacred containers for transformation. his mission is simple and powerful: to sing what the soul longs to hear, and to awaken what has been forgotten.
if something here stirs your heart—if you feel the whisper of a call—come closer. you’re warmly invited.
Penn has livestreamed worldwide via Reddit to over 150,000 people. He’s received semi-finalist and runner-up songwriting placements in worldwide songwriting competitions for his songs “Burn a Little Sage,” “Keep Keepin On,” and “Blazes (Acoustic).” He’s traveled more than 400,000 miles across the US playing a variety of venues.
Penn offers his musical space-holding services in 1:1 Sacred Conversations, ceremonies, house concerts, guided personal journeys, and gatherings. He’s released 5 albums and has more than 450 songs in his pocket, waiting for the right moment.
His latest record “From Moment to Memory” is currently enthralling audiences across the world and being sung by friends, family, and strangers at Rainbow Gatherings, campfires, and coffeeshops.

"Penn's charm is rooted in his sincerity. His songs are unpretentious and entirely heartfelt. It's impossible to listen to his voice and not feel a little more hopeful about human evolution. Burn A Little Sage is a paean to unity and healing that's as catchy as it is uplifting - it deserves to be heard from a festival stage with a thousand voices singing along." — MK, RADIO WOODSTOCK
"Penn is a super refreshing songwriter with honest lyrics and passionate vocals. He lives the words that he writes and is putting in the work to spread his message." — BRANDON HARDESTY, BUMPIN UGLIES
"He speaks from experience and his teaching tone is compassionate and direct. I hear Dylan and Tom Waits in his music, but without the triple meaning phrases and with a much better voice. He strums well and he fingerpicks fine, but the lyrics and the message are always the focus. This cat is the real deal." — A.J WACHTEL, THE NOISE
"Penn Johnson's songs tell stories that resonate soulfully while connecting with audiences on an intimate level. He makes accessible powerful narratives touching on timeless issues, and his unique sound works in any venue or medium. As a radio host I have worked with him live in the studio, and listeners seem to relate positively to his unique style. As do I." — NICK NOBLE, THE FOLK REVIVAL, WICN

"My experience with Penn was a transformative experience that touched the depths of my being.”
“Blessed be Penn’s name as it touches the four winds of the mother mana. He touched a piece of me that is fragile like glass and I heard his name on the edges of my frequency. I pray that people see what I see in him.”
“No offense to Jason Isbell, but I think Mountains of Colorado is the best folk song I've ever heard."
"Cerebral...Intellectual."
