Sammy Johnson Announces Massive Worldwide Tour

Sammy Johnson Announces Massive Worldwide Tour, Releases New Single


Local reggae soul singer Sammy Johnson has announced a massive tour across the US, Australia, NZ and the Islands this February to April, with new single ‘Say That You Love Me Too’ also due out on Friday 26 February.

Joined on the road by US RnB/Reggae singer Tenelle and Hawaiian roots trio The Late Ones, the tour promises to bring through the next wave of talent, with performances set for Auckland on Friday 26 February and Hamilton on Saturday 27 February.

The heartfelt single also features the rising starlet, with Tenelle complimentingSammy’s beautiful tones to create a stunning duet over soothing reggae rhythms.

"I’m excited to be releasing a new single with the very talented Tenelle. The song is about two people wanting to say they love each other to each other but they don’t," saidSammy Johnson. "We all go through that experience where you want to express your feelings to someone but we hesitate. The song will hopefully see people taking the first step."

Sammy Johnson embraces his Maori and Polynesian roots to create positive and uplifting music, mixing together island reggae, soul and jazz with earnest and full-hearted lyrics.
