Tuesday December 16 Craig Moreau Music, Ralph Boyd Johnson Take the grittiness of Steve Earle, the working class attitude of Bruce Springsteen, the heartland spirit of John Mellencamp, the western feel of Joe Ely, the humour of Fred Eaglesmith and the storytelling of John Prine and you’ve got Calgary based Ralph Boyd Johnson! Johnson has done a lot of livin’…spending time in jail and in rehab and draws on his own real life experiences and acquaintances to write this postcard from the edge and displays a rare poetic conviction and sense of humour doing it. One moment he’ll have you lookin’ for a Kleenex and the next he’s kickin’ your ass but you’ll be movin’ your feet and singing along the whole time.
