Lonesome Town (Ricky Nelson Cover)

Just messing around, learning covers in my living room. 

Lonesome Town

Marissa Johnson is a busy collaborator, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has appeared on dozens of recordings over the last decade. She has been touring and releasing records with various bands since her debut album under the moniker Weathered Pines, THE SKY BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS (2010). 

While she has travelled throughout Europe and North America as a member of No Kids, Dizzy Eyes and The Flintettes, a recent move from Vancouver, BC to a rural community has afforded her the opportunity to turn her efforts inward. 

With her latest album, COLLECTOR, Johnson has created warm and lush pop melodies and intricate vocal lines that contribute to a lavish musical landscape. Foregoing the anonymity of the Weathered Pines moniker, Johnson has stepped out of the shadow of her side projects with focused intention. 

In between recording and live shows, Johnson has participated in a residency at the Banff Centre for the Arts, contributed to several projects in collaboration with Nicholas Krgovich, and worked with Detroit producer, Matthew Smith (Outrageous Cherry, Rodriguez, Dennis Coffey, Kim Fowley). She is currently preparing for the release of COLLECTOR in 2016.
