ALFRED JOHNSON, the highly regarded singer/songwriter and funky piano player, is considered by some to be one of this century’s most animated and original songwriters. His energetic style of playing the keys brings a wonderful compliment to his music. Alfred co-wrote 3 songs with RICKIE LEE JONES, including the musical masterpiece "COMPANY," which are all featured on her 1979 Platinum Grammy Award winning premiere album containing the hit single “Chuck E’s In Love.” Recognized as a true craftsman of his art, Alfred has written over 900 tunes, and at least 70 of them are published. He is best known for his lyric-driven tunes that will keep you captivated till the end. Alfred’s diverse musical style encompasses Funk, New Orleans, Pop, Rock 'n' Soul, Gospel, “Rhythm and Bluegrass” - as he calls it, and music that will have you wanting to dance and sing along. He enjoys sharing his work with good listeners.
Alfred’s tunes have been covered by prominent recording artists such as Dianne Reeves and Ernie Watts. His musical influences range from Taj Mahal, Leon Russell, and Dr. John to Randy Newman, Danny O’Keefe, David Wilcox, and Bill Champlin (Sons of Champlin, Chicago). In 2014, Alfred had a wonderful reunion with Ricki Lee Jones, opening for her at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, CA and again in November 2018. Alfred continues to play the circuit of live venues around Los Angeles as he has been for over 45 years, and most recently at Severin Browne’s First Friday back in February.
