Concert Review: Will Johnson Living Room Show, Kansas City, KS 5-19-12
Will Johnson has a voice and music set perfectly for the most intimate of shows. There is no environment more intimate than being in your own living room. Johnson has decided to tour and forgo public venues and go straight … Continue reading
