Speaking of the track, Chadwick said, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“‘It\u2019s Almost Christmas’ is a throwback to all things Christmas. I really wanted this song to be a nod to all the things that make this time of year so special\u00a0\u2014 making references to some beloved songs from our childhood and really having fun with that!\u00a0I have always loved Christmas music. It is the one genre that is welcomed and celebrated with childlike innocence every single year. It can feel like a warm hug, a reminder of what is\u00a0important in life. You could be in a random grocery store and someone in the same aisle will be humming or singing along to those old familiar tunes coming from the speaker. It\u2019s\u00a0another opportunity for music to connect us in a positive way!”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

“The holidays are filled with so much nostalgia so I really wanted to point out that, during Christmas, everything seems heightened, even magical, but the most important moments are those that you spend with someone you love. It\u2019s those meaningful moments with loved ones that make the holidays truly beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Chadwick Johnson is a singer\/songwriter who approaches the craft as a storyteller and revels in the complexities of the human experience. Chadwick’s sound echoes the soulful\u00a0stylings of Chris Stapleton and soaring vocals of Ben Platt.\u00a0Chadwick’s latest album, ‘Unbreakable’, demonstrates his songwriting prowess, showcasing 12 captivating new songs. The title track is a fierce answer to the struggles that may\u00a0shake us, but will never break us. Chadwick also brings new life to the 1986 Crowded House cover ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’, The provocative track list resonates with personal themes of\u00a0love, determination and resilience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“I really focused on the storytelling for this album,\u201d he says. “Instead of writing songs about my struggles and feeling like I was broken, I realized that\u00a0music is my secret power! It\u2019s about my ability to work through and overcome the struggle. It\u2019s about resilience!” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Recorded in Nashville, the self produced album was released\u00a0on\u00a0September 16, 2022.

Performing both nationally and internationally, Chadwick\u2019s acclaimed concerts have been enjoyed by audiences at venues including Chelsea Table & Stage, Feinstein’s at Vitello’s, The Purple Room, Catalina\u00a0Jazz Club and the prestigious Smith Center for the Performing Arts where he recorded his live album, ‘”‘Live In Las Vegas’.\u00a0Chadwick was recognized with the Hollywood Music in Media Award for \u201cSong Of The Year,” and experienced a dream come true when he collaborated with legendary producer David\u00a0Foster.\u00a0Chadwick’s critically acclaimed single “Remember Love,”\u00a0co-written with Hollywood actor and songwriter Kalani Queypo, explores the\u00a0haunting effects of Alzheimer’s from the\u00a0perspective of a loved one. Proceeds from this song are donated to research for brain\u00a0health.

Chadwick grew up on a horse ranch, and still continues today to train horses and enjoy his time outside in nature. Chadwick keeps true to his heart and continues to impassion his\u00a0audience with the soul and sincerity of his music, while remaining on the cutting edge of the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
