Haley Johnsen

Haley Johnsen, an Oregon-born artist, fuses the heartfelt emotion of Americana with the infectious energy of Alt Pop. With a timeless voice that channels the soulful power of Brandi Carlile and the warm authenticity of Bonnie Raitt, her music is deeply personal yet universally resonant.

Haley has shared stages with acts like KT Tunstall, Joseph, and The Talbott Brothers and toured as bassist and backup vocalist for Big Wild, performing at iconic festivals and venues such as Coachella and Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Her pandemic-inspired album Goner (2022) blended retro pop with indie folk, while her latest EP Late Bloomer (2024) mixes Texas twang with her Oregon roots, focusing on growth and self-expression.
