BA Johnston

BA Johnston is a Canadian cult sensation known for his hilarious, high-energy live shows and quirky, lo-fi songs about everyday Canadiana. Hailing from Hamilton, Ontario, Johnston has carved out a unique niche over the past two decades with his blend of comedy, punk, and synth-pop, performing in venues ranging from dive bars to music festivals. Often clad in sweatpants and wielding a Game Boy or battered acoustic guitar, BA revels in offbeat nostalgia and absurdity, singing about topics like fast food, maritime provinces, and misadventures in small-town bars.

With albums like Shit Sucks, Werewolves of London, Ontario, and I Make the Same Mistakes, he's become a beloved figure on the indie circuit, earning a loyal fanbase across the country. Though his sound is deliberately rough-around-the-edges, Johnston's wit and charm shine through, making him a truly one-of-a-kind performer who doesn't take himself too seriously — and wouldn't have it any other way.
