Track Star

You’ve never been afraid to sing for your supper. But Dejie Johnson’s lounge act would make anyone look like small potatoes. (Just sayin’.)

Precisely why you should commission her to jazz things up at your next house party or formal shindig.

The concierge-by-day, lounge singer-by-night has played audiences from Blake’s to Broadway. Her signature sets mix Rat Pack-era nostalgia, pure talent, and just a touch of camp. (We’ll mention here that she’s lent her pipes to commercials for Josie and the Pussycats and The Jetsons, too. True story.)

Catch her new Thursday night act at Peasant Bistro for divine renditions of standards like “The Folks Who Live on the Hill.”

Make note: She’ll be music to your ears.


Dejie Johnson (dejie.biz). Next performance, Thursday, March 26, 5:30-8:30 p.m., at Peasant Bistro, 250 Park Avenue West, Downtown (404-230-1724).
