A three-time Golden Guitar winner, ARIA Award nominee, and one of Australia’s fastest-rising international country artists, Johnston has become a defining voice of modern country music. With more than 163 million global streams, six #1 Australian country radio singles, and a history-making debut album, RAISED LIKE THAT, which spent an extraordinary 35 consecutive weeks at #1 on the ARIA Australian Country Albums Chart, his rise has been nothing short of remarkable.

For many Canadian country fans, and particularly within the line dancing community, RAISED LIKE THAT has become a familiar favourite, introducing Johnston’s music to audiences well beyond Australia and building a loyal international following.

Fresh from the release of his powerful single SMOKE I’VE KNOWN featuring US country star Chase Matthew, Johnston continues to build international momentum following acclaimed performances across Australia, Sweden, South Africa and the United Kingdom.

Now, for the first time, Canadian fans will have the opportunity to experience James Johnston live as he makes his long-awaited Canadian headline debut at Calgary’s legendary Ranchman’s.

Known for his powerhouse vocals, magnetic stage presence and authentic songwriting, James Johnston delivers a high-energy live show packed with chart-topping hits, crowd-favourite anthems and the unmistakable energy that has established him as one of Australia’s leading modern country artists.
