Johnson is repped by Chad Kudelka of CAA and managed by Durango Artist Management. He recently won a CMA award for Album of the Year and his “Leather Tour” was a hit this year. He performed his first headline stadium concert at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, on Nov. 9 and grossed $3,595,000 off 39,539 tickets, according to Pollstar Boxoffice.

Presented by Activated Events, Boots In The Park is unique among country fests by tapping underserved markets and venues and bringing top-shelf talent and the full festival experience to outdoor stages.
