​Brian Johannessen (from the album Holster Your Silver available as a self-release) 
A Midwest setting is the stage for the songs of Brian Johannessen. Styles circle the music like dust devils of Folk, Country, and Blue-eyed Soul on Holster Your Silver, the second album release from Brian Johannessen. The turbulence of his world while writing the tunes, and the pull of personal hurdles, guide Brian’s pen on Holster Your Silver. The album draws a line in the sand with Country Folk rhythms to sing the mining town Blues of “Cooper Queen” as Brian Johannessen curses circumstance and holds tight to hope in “Damn These Saints” as he tries to keep a flame lit for a homecoming with shuffling rhythms of “Somewhere Down the Line”.
 
In addition to his job as a songwriter, Brian Johannessen works as a talent buyer for clubs and festivals, giving him a birds-eye view of the road taken by traveling troubadours. Holster Your Silver takes to the pulpit to preach on the tough love life of an independent musician with “Music Business Blues Breakdown” while Country music legends are on the radio as the music of Kris Kristofferson, Steve Earle, Willie Nelson, and Merle Haggard ride shotgun in “Fremont”. Brian Johannessen makes music of his musings for “If I Thought That I Could Win” and shares moments from a memorable road trip in “Tired (Last Time I Saw Her)” as Holster Your Silver exits the album on the twilight confessions of the title track.
