Biography:

Hey! I'm Anna Mitchell, formerly Johnson. When I was just 20 years old, I moved to Nashville, TN and recorded my first album, "Ready to Go". I was a music student who was trying to see if a real life music career was what I was made for. Turns out, it was! At least for a season. I recorded "Ready to Go" (2010), "Winding Road" (2011), "Christmastime with the Anna Johnson Band" (2011), and "Here" (2016) while living and working in Nashville. Now, I live with my family in Denver, CO, where I am a worship leader at a small church south of town. I still write music and fly to Nashville to record with others and do vocal work, but my focus has shifted. I DO plan to record a new Christmas album that will be released late fall 2022, so stay tuned for that. Thanks to all of you who have supported me and my music over the years! You've brought me so much joy!

Press:

“Anna Johnson and her band.... Its hard to say, but maybe the highlight of my career as an engineer/producer thus far. I couldn't have asked for such a mixture of talent, heart, professionalism, and fun! It all started with a phone call from Matt McPherson, owner and designer of McPherson Guitars. Because of his guitars and heart for music, Matt has met and heard TONS of amazing artists. Turn on your TV and watch the grammy's or ACMs and you'll find his signature guitars in the hands of amazing musicians. So when i heard him say the words "She's got more talent and potential and than most of the artist that i've heard" it made a statement.”
Michael Head - Producer at McPherson Studios - Private Recommendation

“One of the purest voices i have ever recorded, Anna is a joy to work with! Her spirit of writing what she is going through and then singing it, pierces the soul in an 'artist' way that is only Anna Johnson...”
Bill Smiley - Producer - Private Recommendation

“Anna is an amazing and prolific songwriter. Her ability to weave infectious melodies and thoughtful lyrics is impressive. When she combines that with her beautiful voice, you end up with an epic creative cocktail. .....and she's funny.”
Ken Lewis - Percussionist and Co-Owner of Global Genius Productions - Private Recommendation

“Anna Johnson's music is like food for the soul. Real, honest and heartfelt. 100% natural with no artificial flavorings or ingredients (substitutes). Her willingness to expose her vulnerabilities, hopes, dreams and fears, allows you to feel what she feels. Add to that an incredibly beautiful voice and songwriting maturity that exceeds her years, and you have an artist that deserves to be heard. In an industry (full of) rife with gimmickry and manufactured personas, Anna Johnson simply stays true to herself.”
James Murdock - Private Recommendation

“Anna Johnson is a true delight! Her sweet demeanor shines through her music and beautiful smile. She is a brilliant songwriter and a true artist. You will enjoy her voice both on her recordings and "live" in concert. She is poised and professional. I highly recommend Anna Johnson and cannot wait to have her back!”
Bill Goodwin - Pastor at Lighthouse Church - Private Recommendation

“She's the real deal. She has a knack for catchy melodies and wholesome lyrics.”
Ron Lovelien - Owner of The Living Room Coffee House, Eau Claire, WI - Leader-Telegram

“Anna Johnson is probably the most talented person from this area in a long time. Catch (her) live shows and listen to her graceful delivery of some well written songs. Try to see her if you ever get the chance."”
PJ on Best Solo Performer - Volume One - "Best of the Valley Reader Poll"

“Anna Johnson is a singer/songwriter from Eau Claire whose personal experiences, love for others, and strong faith are portrayed through touching songs about life, love, and friendship. Along with more than 40 original songs, Anna performs cover songs from artists like Alison Krauss, the Dixie Chicks, Jack Johnson, Brandi Carlile, and more.”

“We would love to have you back...I know that the audience here thought your performance was spectacular.”
Deb Johnson, Executive Director, Chippewa Valley Cultural Arts Assoc., CF, WI - Private Email

“Regardless of her professional music experience, the maturity of Johnson's new album, "Roller Coaster Love", makes it easy to see how she may have caught the eye of Brian May and the rest of Queen. Her acoustic guitar playing is comforting, and her lyrics are sincere.”
Rob Hanson, Leader-Telegram, Eau Claire, WI - Leader-Telegram
