His music has garnered international acclaim and is embraced by fans of classic and contemporary country, as well as Americana and mainstream rock. The Grand Ole Opry member is also widely regarded as one of the greatest country songwriters of his generation. He is one of only two people in the history of country music (along with Kris Kristofferson) to win two Song of the Year awards in the same year--for “Give It Away” and “In Color”--from the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association. A consummate storyteller, his songs have been recorded by George Strait, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Trace Adkins, James Otto, Joe Nichols and others. He is “a first-rate preservationist of classic country songwriting…,” says The New York Times. His recent prime-time television performances have been widely recognized as the best of the shows, from singing “Georgia on My Mind” in the 2023 CBS special Willie Nelson's 90th Birthday Celebration and “Angels Among Us” for the 2024 CMT Giants: Alabama to performing “Beer for My Horses” in August with Lainey Wilson for the top-rated NBC special Toby Keith: American Icon (available to stream on Peacock), debuting his powerful song, “21 Guns,” during PBS' National Memorial Day Concert earlier this year, and delivering a standout performance of “Give It Away” at the 2024 CMA Awards. The Recording Industry Association of America recently honored him for sales/streams of 9 million, including the 5X platinum-certified single “In Color,” the 2X platinum-certified album That Lonesome Song, the platinum-certified single “High Cost of Living,” the gold-certified song “Between Jennings and Jones” and the gold-certified single “That Lonesome Song.” Johnson just completed his “What a View” headlining tour and is now part of the “Life is a Carnival: Last Waltz Tour '24,” the epic tour that continues the tradition of capturing the excitement of The Band's historic 1976 Thanksgiving concert in San Francisco. The tour also features Ryan Bingham, Lukas Nelson, Don Was and others. In October 2024, Jamey performed in “Life Is a Carnival: A Music Celebration of Robbie Robertson,” which was held in Los Angeles and filmed by Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese for an upcoming release. $50 – $99	1 event 9 1 event, 9 2026-04-11 The Rhododendron Festival	1 event 10 1 event, 10 2026-04-11 The Rhododendron Festival
