Peggy has been a staple of the Oklahoma City acoustic music scene since 1985 when she planted her Georgia roots in the Red Dirt plains, blending her southern style with the populist politics of Woody Guthrie’s legacy — through her songwriting, her unabashed public persona, and her huge capacity for enveloping a crowd in the emotional safe haven of song. Peggy Johnson is a poet and a storyteller with a guitar in her hands and a voice made for singing. With her songs, she carves out slices of life and serves them up as an offering to the willing listener. Part philosophy, part stand up comedy, and part folk magic, her shows are an emotional ride outside the bounds, sometimes in your face, and always with a tip of the hat to the muses who have gone before.
