Jamie Murray Johnston (Jimmy) grew up in Larne, on Northern Ireland’s world-renowned Antrim coast. Music has always been Johnston’s passion from a very young age, as well as history. Little did he think that his career and travels with the Shamrock Tenors would involve both.

He originally trained in classical singing, but his real loves are country and Irish music. Along the way, he began Irish dancing with his sister and went on to become a champion Irish dancer.

Johnston has performed all over the world singing and dancing for audiences proudly representing his country. He is highly fascinated with all things Irish—specifically Ulster’s history and the Scotch-Irish diaspora. The place and its people have shaped not only his musical tastes but almost every facet of his life. He relishes every opportunity to talk of home with people from all corners of the world.

A talented songwriter, Johnston is responsible for writing the original Shamrock Tenors songs that you hear in the show this evening.

He would like to dedicate his performance this evening to his wife, Caity and young daughter, Blair.
