Billy Johnson, “one of the Twin Cities’ best feel-good, blue-collar, barroom-rousing tunesmiths” (Star Tribune), kicks off this night of Minnesota music.
More than 200 shows a year. Over 100,000 albums sold. A fiercely loyal fan base that follows him from Minnesota to Mexico — all built independently, without major label backing. GB Leighton, led by dynamic frontman and songwriter Brian Leighton, has spent nearly three decades delivering high-energy, heartland rock shows that pack clubs, festivals, and dance floors across the Midwest and beyond.
With fourteen albums to his name, Leighton’s blue-collar storytelling and commanding stage presence have drawn comparisons to early Bruce Springsteen and John Mellencamp.
Recognized by Billboard.com as a Top 10 Country Artist to Watch following his national country debut Get Up, Leighton continues to evolve. His upcoming album Tangerine, set for release in May 2026, marks the next chapter in a career built on relentless touring, authentic songwriting, and an unshakable connection with fans.
Billy Johnson is a Minneapolis-based singer/songwriter and the driving force behind The Hillcats, BJ’s Roadshow, and B-TEAM. Rooted in acoustic soul and Americana, Billy’s music blends grit, grace, and heartfelt storytelling with undeniable energy. Over his career, he has recorded twelve original albums and shared the stage with The Bodeans, Bob Schneider, Five For Fighting, Train, and Lowen & Navarro. From theaters and breweries to backyards, hospital bedsides, and birthday parties — Billy always shows up with his guitar and a spark. Simply put: Billy loves to play.
As Star Tribune music critic Chris Riemenschneider put it: “Billy Johnson confirms he belongs on the A-list as one of the Twin Cities’ best feel-good, blue-collar, barroom-rousing tunesmiths.”
