Haley Johnsen says, “I want my music to encourage people to push through their challenges and continue to have hope and believe in themselves and their authenticity.”
Haley’s showmanship is electric, earnest, and wholeheartedly endearing. Audiences can be sure to leave Haley’s shows with smiles on their faces while wiping tears from their eyes.
After reaching the top 24 in American Idol televised season 11 in 2012, Haley committed herself to songwriting and released her first EP in 2015. Since then, she has toured with Big Wild and KT Tunstall, including and opening performance for Brandi Carlilie at Portland’s Moda Center.
Her latest 2022 full length 12 track album, “Goner,” was written and recorded during the peak of the pandemic. An American Songwriter review describes the album as “(cascading) over loss and grief and mending one’s soul in nostalgic drips of time, all carried by ’80s-tipped synth-pop and brushes of reflective ballads. Her entire catalog of music as well as her showmanship promises to be quirky, dramatic, soft, inspirational, eclectic, and fun.” Kinda like Haley Johnsen herself.
