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.

I spent over three decades flying commercial jets across continents, navigating storms and skies with precision and care. After retiring, I figured I had earned a peaceful life—time to enjoy the fruits of my labor. Like many, I’d invested some of my savings in Bitcoin over the years. I watched it grow steadily, and by the time I retired, my crypto wallet had reached an incredible $718,000. That was my safety net. My backup plan. My reward for years of hard work. And then—just like that—it was gone. One ordinary morning, I logged into my wallet and felt my heart drop. The balance was zero. Every single coin had vanished into thin air. I’d been hit by something called “cryptojacking”—a stealthy, silent cyberattack that hijacks your computer’s resources and compromises your private data. In my case, the attackers gained access to my wallet keys and siphoned off everything without me knowing. I felt sick. Helpless. Angry. I reached out to every possible authority—my bank, local police, even tech support forums—and the answer was the same: “Sorry, but there’s nothing we can do.” It felt like the end of the road… until I found CLOUDFORCE CYBER SECURITY COMPANY. I’ll be honest—I was skeptical. There are too many scams out there promising “Bitcoin recovery” only to vanish with what little hope you have left. But CLOUDFORCE felt different from the start. Their team was professional, responsive, and most importantly—they listened. They didn’t promise miracles. They promised a fight. And fight they did. They started by diving deep into the blockchain, tracking down where my stolen Bitcoin had gone. These guys weren’t just good—they were elite. Using forensic analysis and dark web powered tools, they traced the digital footprints the hackers left behind. Even though the criminals tried to cover their tracks through mixers and shadow wallets, CLOUDFORCE found a way to outsmart them. They even went a step further. By analyzing data from my compromised device, they uncovered the IP addresses used during the hack. They traced those to a network of hijacked systems—a full-scale botnet operation. And in a bold move, they ethically breached one of the hackers’ own servers, uncovering a goldmine of stolen data, logs, and transaction details. From there, things moved fast. CLOUDFORCE worked with international crypto exchanges to flag suspicious wallets and freeze the assets before the thieves could cash out. They even reverse-engineered parts of the DeFi platforms the hackers used to launder the funds—and that’s where they struck gold. In just a matter of weeks, they recovered 95% of my stolen Bitcoin. I couldn’t believe it. Watching $684,000 flow back into my new, secure wallet felt like watching a rescue team pull you from a burning wreckage. Emotional doesn’t even begin to describe it. I got my life back. To anyone out there who’s had their crypto stolen: don’t give up. I was on the verge of accepting a devastating loss. But CLOUDFORCE proved that even in the darkest situations, recovery is possible. They aren’t just a cybersecurity company—they’re a lifeline. They brought back my future, my faith, and most importantly, my peace of mind. If you’re looking for a team that’s fast, fearless, and fiercely effective. CLOUDFORCE is it. I’ll always recommend them even for a million times. Hence, for that reason I’ll be sharing their various contact infos below incase you might need help recovering your lost digital assets: Email: Cloudforcecyber@gmail.com
