Saxofonist

Calvin Johnson is a saxophonist and composer from a multi-generational New Orleans music family who loves to spread the exuberance of New Orleans music around the world with his band Calvin Johnson & Native Son. A trendsetter and student of history, Johnson performs in the space between Funk, R&B, and popular music while staying true to his jazz roots. Downbeat Magazine called his latest album, Notes of a Native Son, one of the Best Albums of 2022. It's no wonder Johnson has performed with the greats, including Irma Thomas, Harry Connick Jr., Aaron Neville, Jason Derulo, Blind Boys of Alabama, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Mannie Fresh, Mystikal, Irvin Mayfield, the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. With a transcendent saxophone sound encompassing the traditional and the modern, Johnson's shows are must-see. Learn more about Calvin Johnson on his website at nativesonmusic.com.
