BORN INTO ROCK. SAVED BY THE BLUES.
Powerful vocals, searing guitar, and classic blues with a rock ’n’ roll pulse.
Will Johns was born into rock royalty, but the blues is entirely his own. The British singer and guitarist brings powerful vocals, searing guitar, and a magnetic stage presence to a sound rooted in classic blues and driven by rock ’n’ roll.
Inducted as a Legendary Artist into the Blues Hall of Fame in Chicago in 2025, Will earned a verdict from Buddy Guy himself: “Now that is what you call the Blues.”
The son of producer Andy Johns and nephew of Glyn Johns, Will first picked up the Crossroads riff from his uncle Eric Clapton. He has since toured internationally and shared stages with Clapton, Buddy Guy, Steve Winwood, Ronnie Wood and Nile Rodgers.
His album BLUESDADDY reached #1 on the Roots Music Report. His latest album, On Top of the World, arrived in 2026, alongside his autobiography, BLUESDADDY, written with Marshall Terrill.
“If Clapton is God, Will Johns is definitely
a worthy successor to the blues holy trinity.”
"Some musicians perform the blues, and others seem to be woven from its very fabric. Will Johns belongs firmly to the latter—an artist whose lived experiences converge into a sound that is both timeless and unmistakably his own."
Lazie Indie Magazine
"A blend of fiery vocals and guitar wizardry, his compositions and performances consist of blistering authentic roots."
"Will Johns is pure soul on guitar and vocals."
"Look at this list of great British guitar players: Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Mark Knopfler. You can now add another name to this list—that name is Will Johns."
