NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Singer-songwriter Paige King Johnson is thrilled to release her newest project, The Barn Sessions Acoustic EP, available today. This special collection features her latest singles reimagined in their original, acoustic form, highlighting the simplicity and power of the lyrics.

“Over the last couple of months, the feedback from folks has been overwhelming,” shares Johnson. “Everyone has enjoyed these singles and I really wanted to give the true experience, the way they were the day they were written and arranged. That’s the heart behind these acoustic recordings.”

Paige King Johnson recently honored her late grandfather with her heartfelt single, "Grandpa’s Little Girl." Through nostalgic lyrics, Johnson takes listeners on a journey through her childhood, highlighting the profound influence her “Papa” had on her life. Co-written with Mike Astrachan, the song debuted on CCM Magazine, accompanied by an in-studio acoustic performance. Continuing to honor her grandfather’s legacy, Johnson also performed "Somebody’s Gotta Do It" on the Grand Ole Opry stage as a special guest of Opry member Pam Tillis.

“This song holds a lot of special childhood & teenage memories of mine in it,” shares Johnson. “My first truck was a 1997 F-150 - a hand-me-down truck from my Papa who passed away when I was ten years old. That truck meant a lot to me - it held a lot of memories of him & I in it when I was little. I was so grateful for it & am still grateful to have it in our family. Every time I look out on the farm & see it sitting there, I can’t help but smile & think of my Papa. I hope whoever listens to this song can find a little comfort in those sweet memories and maybe recall some of their own.”

About Paige King Johnson:

Born in a quiet North Carolina town just 22 miles south of Raleigh, as a young 9-year-old girl, Paige King Johnson spent her summers under the crepe myrtles imitating the styles of Loretta, Patsy, Waylon, and Merle. Having a grandpa as her biggest fan also meant receiving the gift of her first guitar – a baby Taylor – and enrolling in lessons. As she grew older, Johnson added “opening act” to her resume, supporting chart-topping artists like Kane Brown, Gabby Barrett, Clint Black, Scotty McCreery, Oliver Anthony, Kylie Morgan, Neal McCoy, Diamond Rio, and more. Upon starting school at Belmont University for Music Business, Johnson honed in on the magic that had heavily influenced her as a child: the art of storytelling through songwriting. The famous Bluebird Café was just one of many writers’ circuits around Nashville that provided a safe space for Johnson to meet other writers. In the last eight years, Johnson has traveled back and forth between Nashville and the Carolinas, playing shows like CMA Fest and the North Carolina State Fair while running her dinner theater, Country on the Outskirts of Town, that she founded in high school. A five-time Carolina Country Music Award-Winner for Female Vocalist of the Year, Country Emerging New Artist, Songwriter of the Year, Single of the Year, and Tour of the Year, Johnson’s devoted homegrown fan base continues to expand farther than just her backyard.
