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.

If you’re reading this and wondering whether JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE is worth it, let me save you the suspense.. they are !. Without them, I would have lost not only my money, but my sanity. My story isn’t uncommon, though I wish it were. It started in a way I never expected through someone I trusted. A pen pal of mine introduced me to what he called a guaranteed crypto mining investment. He claimed to have made over $80,000 in just two months and even showed me screenshots of his withdrawals. I didn’t hesitate to trust him. After all, this was someone I’d known for years. I began with $3,000, and within weeks, my account balance soared to $15,000. I was amazed. I started to dream big, what if I could finally pay off my student loans or save for the future I’d always wanted. Encouraged by the initial success, I invested more $25,000 this time. But the problems began when I tried to withdraw my funds. First, it was a $300 transaction fee. Then they asked for a $2,500 tax pre-clearance fee. I was skeptical but felt trapped, I had too much money on the line. Over the next month, the fees never stopped. Every time I questioned it, the account manager would send me reassuring emails or hop on a video call to explain. They told me I was just steps away from my payout. In total, I paid nearly $17,000 in fees, only for them to stop responding when I couldn’t afford more fee. My account? Suspended, My money ? Gone. For weeks, I lived in a haze of regret. Then, one evening, I came across a forum where someone mentioned JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE. I almost scrolled past it after all, I didn’t trust anyone anymore. But their post was so detailed, and their experience sounded so much like mine, that I decided to investigate. From the first call with their team, I felt hopeful . They walked me through their process step by step, answering my endless questions with patience and understanding. It wasn’t easy handing over all the details of my situation. I felt so exposed, reliving every bad decision I’d made. The days that followed were nerve wracking. I kept my expectations low, not wanting to get my hopes up. Then, one afternoon, I received the good news as my funds were successfully recovered back to my possession. To say I’m grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE gave me more than I had dared to hope therefore i will be forever indebted to their team.

It all began with a seemingly golden opportunity. I was introduced to an exclusive investment scheme promising astronomical returns. The pitch was flawless, the testimonials convincing, and the numbers irresistible. Before I knew it, I had poured $320,000 of my hard-earned savings into what I believed was a surefire path to financial freedom. But as weeks turned into months, the returns never materialized. My calls went unanswered, and the company’s website vanished overnight. I had been scammed.Desperate and devastated, I scoured the internet for solutions. That’s when I stumbled upon Alpha Spy Nest, a shadowy yet highly reputed firm specializing in cyber investigations, asset recovery, and covert operations. Their tagline, “We find what’s lost, and reclaim what’s yours,” gave me a glimmer of hope. I reached out, and within hours, I was contacted by a representative. They explained that Alpha Spy Nest had a team of elite hackers, forensic accountants, and legal experts who had successfully recovered millions for clients worldwide. My case, while complex, was not beyond their capabilities. I signed their agreement, and the operation began. The first step was to trace the scammers’ digital trail. Alpha Spy Nest’s tech team, led by a hacker known only as Cipher, analyzed every email, transaction, and communication I had with the fraudulent investment firm. They discovered that the scammers had used sophisticated methods to mask their identities, operating through a labyrinth of shell companies and offshore accounts. But Cipher was relentless. Using advanced blockchain analysis and dark web surveillance, they pinpointed the culprits to a remote location in Eastern Europe. With the scammers’ location identified, Alpha Spy Nest deployed a team of undercover operatives to infiltrate the operation. Disguised as wealthy investors, they gained access to the inner circle of the fraud ring. Over several weeks, they gathered irrefutable evidence: recorded conversations, financial records, and even confessions from the scammers themselves. Meanwhile, Cipher worked tirelessly to freeze the funds before they could be laundered further.Armed with concrete evidence, Alpha Spy Nest’s legal team swung into action. They collaborated with international law enforcement agencies, including Interpol, to coordinate a raid on the scammers’ headquarters. Simultaneously, they filed motions in multiple jurisdictions to reclaim my funds. The scammers, caught off guard by the precision of the operation, had no choice but to surrender. Alpha Spy Nest didn’t just recover my money; they restored my faith in justice. Their professionalism, expertise, and unwavering dedication turned my nightmare into a story of triumph. Today, I’m more cautious with my investments, but I’m also a vocal advocate for Alpha Spy Nest. They are the unseen guardians of the digital age, the ones who fight for the little guy when the system fails.If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, remember: the Alpha Spy Nest is out there, ready to reclaim what’s yours.
