Johanna Beekman
I am an acoustic "blue-eyed soul" singer/songwriter based out of PDX and play a variety of both familiar favorites and originals, fitting on almost any bill. We specialize in 50's/60's R&R, 70's & Disco, 70's Classic Rock, Motown, R&B, Blues, 80's Top-40, 90's, 00's, and a little Country. Attached is a current list of covers, but that list is ever-growing and flexible. We have at least 4 hours of quality material.
I am known for my ability to relate to audiences of all ages, with a large selection of covers from the 50's to today that I play (none of which I have recorded because of paying for rights, etc) and a high energy show.
I have 2 full length CDs and I play frequently at local rooms as well as touring. I fit great in casinos, resorts, and with my trio. The trio is Guitar, Drums (Acoustic and electronic), keyboard, vocals & backing vocals. We are all highly professional musicians and ALWAYS get re-booked and refferrals. When budget allows we add in a bassist and other vocals/horn section, etc. I love playing with a variety of musicians.
Look forward to hearing from you!ThanksJohanna
