Photo Flash: Jay Armstrong Johnson Performs at Birdland
On Monday, September 20, Jay Armstrong Johnson made his solo concert debut as part of the Broadway at Birdland series. The house was packed with Broadway heavy hitters, including Hair co-author James Rado, Sara Gettelfinger, Todrick Hall, Jason Michael Snow and Alex Brightman.
Jay Armstrong Johnson explored a collection of old and new songs that capture his spirit of peace, love & rock 'n roll. From classic rock greats to the music of Ryan Scott Oliver, Jay shared his innate R&B sensibility, Texas roots and Broadway background. Highlights included an accoustic version of Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel," Reba McIntire's "Why Haven't I Heard From You?," and Jacques Brel's "If We Only Have Love," which Jay dedicated to his Hair tribe.
