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.

Arthur Terembula is a touring artist and passionate student of the country blues and ragtime guitar. A translator of the sounds of the 1920’s & 1930’s blues. He reimagines the music from those times, rewriting and interpreting the songs of Mississippi John Hurt, Robert Johnson, Elizabeth Cotten, Blind Blake, Rev. Gary Davis, and other various country blues figures. You can find Arthur with his ear close to a speaker and guitar in hand, humming and whittling away at the fretboard.

Johanna and Arthur will be on Stage TOO! on Thursday.
