Big Smokey

Howdy! Grant "Big Smokey" Johnson here. I have played my guitar from the backwoods Honky Tonks of the Pacific Northwest to the stage of Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, the original home of the Grand Ol' Opry.



I am a musician based in Nashville, TN. I am currently playing guitar with DB Harris and the Men of Action, Jon Langford's Fantastic Nashville Band, and utility player with David Dewese.

I also sub for Travis Mann and Joshua Black Wilkins.

If you need a Lead Guitar, 12 String Guitar, Banjo or Mandolin for your group or project please contact me.



I also write for a great guitar magazine called THE FRETBOARD JOURNAL. Check it out at your favorite music store or newsstand.



In the Pacific Northwest I have played guitar, Dobro, and steel guitar for Jon Langford (Mekons, Waco Brothers, Pine Valley Cosmonauts), Christy McWilson (Hightone Records, The Picketts), The Model Rockets, Carolyn Mark, The Hank Williams Revue, The Quitters, Ruby Dee & The Snakehandlers, Marshall Scott Warner, Citizens Utilities, Bill Herzog, John Ramberg, Jerry Cohen, Dave Berner, and The Infant Kings as well as scored two feature length movies, a pilot for a Kids Television series picked up by CBC (Canada) and local commercials.
