Johanna Wacker is a singer-songwriter and roots musician from Queens, NY, though much of her family comes from the mountains of Virginia. She’s been writing songs and teaching herself to play pretty much anything with strings since she was 11 years old. Banjo and guitar quickly became her preferred instruments.
Johanna’s music incorporates traditional influences from Appalachian old-time, bluegrass, classic country, blues, and the American folk revival. She sets out to break musical barriers and genre stereotypes by being unapologetically herself.
