Blending blues, soul, jazz and R&B, Steph Johnson is that rare talent that captures your attention from the first note. Whether hearing her music in a live setting or on her recordings, Johnson has an amazing presence, topped off by that voice -- powerful, sultry. Then there's her deft rhythmic, jazz inflected guitar playing. All backed up by her absolute command of the stage.
