“Roger Johnson is such a stand-out songwriter and driving force for old-time religion and old-time gospel music!” - Les Butler

About the Songwriter, Roger Johnson...

Heaven's Mountain Band's songs reach deep into hearts and change lives with the pure Gospel message.   They have had 10 consecutive #1 hits, been in top venues around the US, and continue to draw packed houses and music lovers from around the globe.  

Patriarch, Roger Johnson, has been writing songs since 1985, and while Heaven's Mountain Band has seen multiple chart successes, many other artists have recorded his songs with great chart success over the years too.  Artists like, Rhonda Vincent, the Primitive Quartet, the Old Time Preachers Qt, Les Butler, and many more!

When asked about his songwriting, Roger Johnson humbly replied, "I once was asked a question about how to minister to someone in a song, my reply was 'I preach with a guitar around my neck.'  Songwriting is, and always has been, a part of my life.  It does my heart good to know that another soul has been robbed from satan because of a few words in a song.  I know that songs have to come from The Lord, and I want Him to get All The Glory.
