2017 CCMA Spotlight Winner Mallory Johnson, has been turning heads in the country music scene. Following the success of her ECMA award-winning debut EP, the 5x MusicNL nominee released a digital 45 in 2019 with the singles “Drunk Mind, Sober Heart” and “Hungover,” earning her recognition at the 2019 ISC, The 18th Independent Music Awards, the 19th NSAI Song Contest and the 2020 MusicNL Awards. Most recently, Mallory collaborated with west coast duo Twin Kennedy on a song called “Wise Woman.” The single has already received high praise from publications like The East, The Bluegrass Situation, and Billboard: “[A] gorgeous tale of vulnerability that strikes just the right chord” – Billboard. Coinciding with the single release, Johnson and Twin Kennedy shared a powerful music video directed by Cecil Johnson, as well as co-hosted Wise Woman – The Show, presented by The Consulate General of Canada to the Southeast United States. In honour of Women’s History Month, the show was introduced by Kirsten Hillman, Canada’s Ambassador to the United States and featured world class talent and critically acclaimed Canadian female artists residing in Nashville, TN.
