Now Hear This - Brian Johannesen
Advertisement
Now Hear This is a music series done in collaboration between Orchestra Iowa and GmixEast. The purpose of the series is to introduce, or sometimes reintroduce, an artist to an audience. It is a space for an artist to grow their art, their business acumen, their presentation and/or performance. It is dedicated to being a safe space for artistic exploration and a place of learning the business side of the music business.
Curated and managed by the team at GmixEast and with all the proceeds, after a small Opus expense, going to the artists, this is an investment by GmixEast and Orchestra Iowa in our arts community. A way to give back and nurture, Now Hear This is a showcase of the finest Eastern Iowa talent, an incubator for art, and a resource for an audience to hear something new.
November's Featured Artist is Brian Johannesen
Brian Johannesen is a folk/Americana singer-songwriter from Iowa City, IA. His rootsy sound is heavily influenced by his heroes like John Prine, Guy Clark, and Bruce Springsteen. A blend of stripped down, well-crafted lyricism, delicate fingerpicking, and a healthy amount of storytelling make Johannesen's live performances feel like a visit with an old friend who is maybe frustrated with the world, but has a good sense of humor about it.
