BA Johnston left it all on the floor Saturday night. Sweat, boogers, beer. All of it.
A shock-and-awe style performance left most people with sore cheeks (on their faces).
Johnston assaulted his audience with his wardrobe (tear-away pants and six layers of shirts, which once all removed revealed a belly that was then used as a percussion instrument) and those dance moves (jazz splits, high kicks and split jumps).
Audience members were caught up in his extra long microphone cord, which allowed him to work the room, body surfing on tables and forcing people to guzzle their beer. Anyone wearing a shirt with snaps was at risk of having it blasted open and anyone holding a cell phone was at risk of having it commandeered.
His antics confused the senses making it challenging to fully absorb the music’s social messages of healthy eating.

Johnston is on tour in March and April going to 18 cities in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Visit www.bajohnston.ca for dates.
