Chuck Johnson has cemented his reputation as a master of solo guitar with his critically acclaimed solo albums "Crows in the Basilica" (Three Lobed, 2013) and "Blood Moon Boulder" (Scissor Tail, 2015) perfecting his modernist style of American fingerpicking over the course of those two albums.

"Velvet Arc" finds Johnson returning to territory he explored in bands like Idyll Swords and Spatula, utilizing an expanded lineup of like-minded musicians to augment his captivating guitar stylings.

On "Velvet Arc" Johnson is playing at the top of his game, unafraid to re-evaluate & redefine himself any chance he can get.
