Michael Johnathon at Two Way Street Coffee House August 5​

DOWNERS GROVE IL - The Two Way Street Coffee House, 1047 Curtiss welcomes folksinger and songwriter Michael Johnathon to its Friday concert stage on August 5 at 8pm

Among the throngs of artists in the music world, few have elevated “dreaming” to such a high art form as folksinger Michael Johnathon. He won the prestigious Milner Award of the Arts in 2020, presented by Governor Andy Beshear in Kentucky. The Painter a tribute to Vincent van Gogh, is his 17th album release. Cosmic Banjo, released earlier this year, is a celebration of the long neck banjo. His 19th album Afterburn; Folk at Arena Level was released the end of May 2022.

This past March, Michael organized the collection of over 1,000 musical instruments that were distributed FREE of charge to folks in Mayfield, Dawson Springs and Owensboro, KY that had their homes and live decimated by the massive tornadoes.

Michael created the worldwide organization of SongFarmers, with nearly 100 active chapters from Australia, across America and Ireland as an alternative for musicians struggling with a changing music world. Their 6th National Gathering of SongFarmers was held at the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame the last week of April 2022. On April 30 WoodSongs was inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame with a huge exhibit featuring the history of the show and includes the original, autographed stage sign used on over 1000 broadcast tapings.

General admission is $10.
