The Johnson Family Band - Which One's the Weird Uncle?


The strength of family stems from personality dynamics, a common past and shared experience, and it is easy to make this comparison about the Johnson Family Band. As a group of musicians, they exemplify an internal personality dynamic among themselves and an external distinction among the various musical groups that call the Fargo area home. As a band that specializes in traditional American music, they recall a commonality that we all share in this culture and, as a loose and fun unit that gives a crowd a rollicking good show, they provide a solid dose of experiences to share.

It is fitting, then, that they should professionally call themselves a family, particularly in light of their show with us tonight in the HoDo Lounge at 8:30 p.m. (21+, no cover), where they have certainly become as welcome as family. As we go into a weekend devoted to our own families and the extended family of our fellow Americans, it's even more fitting. Before you head to the lakes or fire up the grill, be sure to get your holiday off to a good start tonight. See you there.
