Canyon City is the recording project of singer-songwriter Paul Johnson, whose ethereal melodies and emotionally rich songs have built him a dedicated following around the world, as well as notable success in the realm of streaming platforms.
Since the project’s 2015 inception in Nashville, the now Colorado-based artist has become known for his distinctive whispery vocals layered over intimate acoustics orbiting candidly emotional storytelling.
To go with his streaming success, Canyon City, aka Paul Johnson, has also garnered acclaim from media outlets including American Songwriter, Paste, Fortune, Under the Radar, Americana UK and NPR, who wrote, "Johnson's warm, bright folk-pop songs feel like letters from a friend."
In Johnson’s own words, “I believe that music can be a window through which we better understand ourselves as well as each other, and my hope is that I can honor and celebrate that experience as I continue the conversation with this explorative process of creativity”.
