Songs and Stories
From The Heart

               Adele Johnson

Ask her what she values most in this life and the answer
will always be: Faith, Family, and Friends... in that order.
Perhaps these priorities account for the late start on her
music career, choosing to focus on raising four children
with her husband Ralph before undertaking a musical
adventure such as she has enjoyed in the last seven years.
For as long as she can remember, Adele has loved to
write songs, with melodies naturally flowing to the words
she pens. She was thrilled and encouraged to find that
several independent artists wanted to record her songs,
(Ronda Lynn Lee, Loree Germain, Candi Gintz,
Tyler Hamilton) and after finding her name on five
different projects, she decided to start writing more seriously.
After making a demo to send out to prospective publishers,
she made an interesting discovery... a new love for singing
and performing. Within six months, her demo was released
as a full length independent cd, Light of Love, in December, 1999, and was nominated at ARIA 2000 in four categories: Best New Artist, Best Gospel Artist,
Best Country Artist, and
Songwriter of the Year for "The Melody".
         After a successful start in the recording industry,
Adele recorded a second independent cd, Unconditionally , in August of 2001,
and enjoyed invitations to sing on the Miracle Channel, Big Valley Jamboree Gospel Celebration,
Alberta Women of Country Music, as well as many local events and several of her
own sold out concerts, featuring guests such as George Canyon, Daniel Gervais, Brett Kissel, and Image of Country.
          Adele's music is honest, sweet and sincere, telling stories and painting musical portraits of everyday triumphs
and heartaches, drawing on her experiences as a Christian, a farmer's wife and homeschooling mom to relate her
optimism through heartbreak, which she joyfully relates to her audiences on her acoustic guitar, accompanied
by husband Ralph on bass and background vocals. While continuing to farm with Ralph in Vilna, Alberta on their
commercial cow/calf ranch, homeschooling their children and enjoying their roles as Youth Leaders at
Smoky Lake Baptist Church, Adele continues to share her God-given gifts of songwriting and singing,
a joy and privilege she does not take for granted.
