You can add recording artist Sam Johnston to your collection of CD’s - “At the Altar”

While his newly released CD does not highlight the usual Country Songs that he in noted for, it features Great Gospel Hymnals.

To begin this CD, it took a great deal of thought and time alone just to make the final decision of hymns to select. It was made up of his wives, his and his late Mother and Father’s, Bernice and Jimmy’s favorites for which this CD is dedicated.

To mention just a few of these are; “Using My Bible as a Road Map” “Old Brush Arbors” “Great Speckled Bird” and “Supper Time.”

The recording was produced and mastered by “R.O.R.” Studios, Keswick Ridge, N.B. Bev Jewett and Andrew Waugh.

The three pictures shown are local Anglican Churches in the Parish of Stanley. The design and packaging by Express Duplications.com.

Accompanying Sam on some of the Spiritual lyrics with vocals was Barb Prosser Winder and Lori Lamey. John Jeffries played the Fiddle, Mandolin, Dobro and Acoustic Guitar.

Bev Jewett on Bass, Acoustic, Electric and Steel Guitars, with Andrew Waugh on Drums.

Sam has been singing since the young age of 8. Performing at local variety shows then in 1985 he became a member of The Capital City Jamboree produced by the late Jim Burns at the Playhouse. He also performed on many of Aubrey Hanson’s TV shows and concerts. Some of the events you can take in his gentle singing are Churches, Holiday Events, Fund Raisers or Community Shows. He is one of the members of the Group “Classic Country” that has a show the 3rd Saturday of each month from September through May at the “Heritage Centre” on the North side of Fredericton or Marysville as some refer to. At their show each month three talented guests are invited that may sing, play instruments or even tap dance.

Sam gives credit for completing his dream to his family for their judgment and support.

Sam admits music is a passion and that every chance he has to play his guitar and sing it gives him great joy. When people meet and music is added it makes the gathering complete!
