Jillette Johnson Announces New EP & US Tour Supporting Fantastic Cat

On March 6, Jillette Johnson will release a new 5-song EP, The Pain, My Friend, produced by Joe Pisapia. In support of the release, she will hit the road for a run of tour dates supporting Fantastic Cat that will kick off on April 11 in Woodstock, NY and make stops in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and her hometown of Nashville, TN, at Row One on April 23.

About the EP, Johnson explains:

“I wrote and recorded The Pain, My Friend at a time in my life where I’m really just wanting to connect to the joy of writing songs that I had when I started out as a kid. I think this body of work reflects that sense of unbridled, unfiltered, childlike magic.”

She adds about the forthcoming tour:

“There are few things I love as much as touring, and I’m so excited to get back on the road to play my new EP live, in person, for real people. And to do it opening for a band that I’m a true fan of, plus we’re playing some of my favorite rooms in the country?… such a privilege!”

The Pain, My Friend follows a string of singles and EPs Johnson has been steadily releasing over the last 5 years. To date, her music has been streamed over 10,000,000 times across all platforms.
