Mallory Johnson & Dani Strong

2017 CCMA Spotlight winner Mallory Johnson, has been turning heads in the country music scene, sharing stages with artists like Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Rascal Flatts, and Blake Shelton to name a few. Her debut self-titled EP (produced by Grammy-Nominated entertainer and multi-platinum artist Sammy Kershaw) earned her the 2019 ECMA for Country Recording of the Year and 3 MusicNL nominations for Country Artist, Rising Star, and Female Artist of the Year. 

Raised on Icons like Dolly, Merle and Loretta, it’s no surprise that Mallory wanted to pursue a career in country music. However, hailing from NL another genre of music is near and dear to her heart — Celtic music. Mallory started her professional career performing with 6-time MusicNL award winning and ECMA nominated family band ’The Cormiers.’

In September Mallory released two brand new songs as a digital 45 called a ‘Double Shot.’ The project includes the single 'Drunk Mind, Sober Heart' and her new radio single ‘Hungover.’ To support the release of the new music, Mallory is hitting the road in March with reigning CCMA album of the year winners ‘The Reklaws’ on the east coast, followed by a radio/promo tour ‘Songbirds & Heartstrings Canadian Tour’ alongside fellow songwriter and powerhouse vocalist Dani Strong.
