Prudence Johnson
Prudence Johnson's silky voice has taken her from the Midwest to the Middle East, honky-tonks to Carnegie Hall, theater stages to the silver screen — appearing in Robert Redford's A River Runs Through It and in Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion. But be it concert hall or tiny jazz club, Prudence is the perfect complement. As one music critic put it, "[There's] not a genre she hasn't interpreted with her ducky, sensual alto voice and terminally good taste."
So, how does one go from a small town like Moose Lake, MN, to the world stage? Were you raised in a musical family?
My father has a beautiful voice and loves to sing. For decades, he was the go-to guy in our area for weddings and funerals. Singing together was something we always did; until a certain age, I thought all families did. People ask me how to learn to hear harmony parts. Ummm … your dad teaches you when you’re four?
I wouldn’t say I had ambition, so much as a certainty that that’s what I was meant to do, and I just put one foot in front of the other. My family of course thought I was nuts, especially since I was a young mother trying to make a living as a freelance musician. I believe it was my appearances on the Prairie Home show in the early ’80s ( it was nationally broadcast by then) that changed their minds.
'Remember Me' with Prudence & Garrison
You’ve released more than a dozen albums, collaborated on many more, written and performed in plays, performed in several feature films, released several multimedia projects combining music and history. With all the time at home due to the pandemic, are there any new projects on the horizon?
I was very busy during the darkest days of the pandemic working at an independent bookstore (Birchbark Books) in Minneapolis. I love the world of books and got a part-time job there in 2008, mostly to support my book habit. But over the years, my commitment deepened and I took on a lot of duties there while maintaining a schedule creating new shows, recording, and performing. To everyone’s surprise, when we closed our doors to the public in spring 2020, the store got much busier than ever before. So I wasn’t really isolated and I had very little downtime. I left Birchbark in the end of May after 12 1/2 years and had a great summer, and I’m just now really giving some thought to what’s next. I LOVE being in the studio but I realize I don’t recognize the landscape anymore — the business of making and releasing recordings has changed so fundamentally. Working with Garrison and with Robin and Linda, as the next incarnation of the Hopeful Gospel Quartet, is sort of a “new old” project that I’m really looking forward to.
You have performed on A Prairie Home Companion, toured with the show as part of the Rhubarb tour, been featured in the movie, toured with Garrison . . . do you have any favorite memories?
Oh! so many. I thought of the Beatles standing in the very same spot on the Hollywood Bowl stage. My granddaughter celebrating her ninth birthday with me on the APHC cruise of the Norwegian fjords. (She's a 23 yr old Registered Nurse now and has great memories of that time) Feeling Leonard Bernstein's spirit at Tanglewood. Red Maddock's glorious smile. I could go on and on.
It was so much fun being on set of the movie; I pretended to be a smoker so I could bum cigarettes from Kevin Kline and hang out with him. Meryl Streep & Lily Tomlin--truly excellent & sweet human beings. The day I sang in the quartet was totally spontaneous. Jearlyn Steele wasn't able to be on set that day, I was, and they wanted to shoot that song, so I learned it....fast!
We had just been on tour for about 3 weeks; how Garrison, Richie and the whole band and crew slipped right into that movie schedule I don't know--I was exhausted. I was asked to costume myself so I chose a suit I had worn sometimes on the tour. After a few 10 hour days in it, I dearly wished I'd chosen something more comfortable. (ok, not so much a favorite memory as a regret)
'Let Your Light Shine On Me' from the A Prairie Home Companion film >>>
Not all jobs require the integration of physical skills, intellect and the heart--some only require one of those--so it's a rare gift to make one's living doing something so spiritually gratifying. Offer your music with love and it will have an impact, and no matter how you weather the ups and downs of the music "business," it will feed your soul.
As a singer, I think of myself foremost as a storyteller, and I encourage young singers, when they are tempted to get frilly and fancy, to concentrate on telling the story.
'Early' with Prudence & Garrison
I truly believe in the effectiveness of spells, and I want to share how Psychic Priest Ray helped me during a very challenging time in my marriage. My husband and I were facing serious misunderstandings that nearly led to divorce. In my moments of despair, I found myself crying and searching for love quotes online when I stumbled upon glowing reviews of Priest Ray’s work. Feeling hopeful, I contacted him and shared my situation. He confidently told me that my husband would return within 24 hours. I followed his advice, and to my absolute surprise, my husband came back the very next day, sincerely asking for my forgiveness and wanting to rebuild our relationship. If you’re going through similar struggles in your marriage, I encourage you to reach out to him. He truly can make a difference!

Recovering My $450,000 USDT from a Fake MT5 Platform Rating: 5/5 Stars
After being scammed by a fraudulent MT5 platform promising high returns, I lost a staggering $1450,000 USDT. I had no idea where to turn or who to trust. The scammers were brilliant—every aspect of their operation looked legitimate, including their fake ratings and reviews. It was only after the funds were gone that I realized I had been duped.
I desperately started researching recovery options and stumbled upon TheHackersPro,com. They specialize in smart contract and blockchain recovery, and after reaching out to them via their secure email proh4ckz@protonmail.com, their team responded almost immediately. They took my case and started analyzing the fraudulent platform. Within a few days, they were able to locate my stolen funds on the blockchain and initiate the recovery process.
The team’s expertise in blockchain forensics and smart contract auditing was unparalleled. They successfully retrieved my 12 BTC, and I’m now awaiting the gas fees for the Ethereum transaction to complete the transfer of the remaining assets from the compromised wallets.
Thanks to Vladimir Kolarov and his team at TheHackersPro, I not only recovered my lost funds but also learned how to secure my future investments. They even recommended a trustworthy platform for future investing, and I’ve since started seeing returns. Thank you so much, Vladimir!
If you’ve been scammed like I was, don’t waste another minute. Open a case with TheHackersPro today. They truly saved my financial future.

It all began on a chilly November evening. I was sitting at my desk, staring at the screen, my heart sinking deeper with each passing second. The numbers didn’t lie—I had lost $78,000 in a Bitcoin investment gone wrong. What started as a promising opportunity had turned into a nightmare. I had trusted the wrong platform, and my hard-earned money had vanished into the digital abyss. I felt helpless, angry, and utterly defeated.For weeks, I tried everything—contacting the platform, seeking legal advice, even reaching out to online forums for help. But the responses were either dismissive or outright scams. It seemed like my money was gone forever. That’s when I stumbled upon Cyber Codex Revolution, a name that kept popping up in my searches. They were a cybersecurity firm specializing in recovering lost or stolen digital assets. Skeptical but desperate, I decided to give them a shot.I reached out to their team, and within hours, I received a response. They asked for details about the transaction, the platform I used, and any evidence I had. Their professionalism gave me a glimmer of hope. After reviewing my case, they assured me they could help. They explained that their team of blockchain experts and ethical hackers would trace the funds and attempt to recover them. It wasn’t a guarantee, but it was the best chance I had.The process was intense. Over the next few weeks, the Cyber Codex Revolution team worked tirelessly. They traced the movement of my Bitcoin through the blockchain, identifying the wallets it had been transferred to. They discovered that the platform I had invested in was a sophisticated scam, designed to siphon funds into untraceable accounts. But Cyber Codex Revolution wasn’t deterred. Using advanced tools and techniques, they managed to pinpoint the location of the funds and initiated a recovery process.One evening, as I was about to give up hope, I received an email from Cyber Codex Revolution. My heart raced as I opened it. The message was simple: “We’ve successfully recovered your Bitcoin. The funds will be transferred to your secure wallet within the next 24 hours.” I couldn’t believe it. Tears of relief streamed down my face as I realized my money was coming back to me.True to their word, the next day, I saw the Bitcoin reappear in my wallet. The $78,000 I thought was lost forever was back in my possession. I couldn’t thank Cyber Codex Revolution enough. They had not only recovered my funds but also restored my faith in the digital world.From that day on, I became an advocate for cybersecurity and responsible investing. I shared my story with others, warning them about the dangers of online scams and encouraging them to seek help if they ever found themselves in a similar situation. Cyber Codex Revolution had given me a second chance, and I was determined to make the most of it.
