WHO AM I - WHAT I DO
Whats in a name? Poetry of course!
"If I ever have a daughter I might like to name her Kentucky.
She’ll grow up beautiful and misunderstood, sharp and forgiving, she’ll know how to handle her losses, and besides,
I think Kentucky’s a right pretty name." Louisville poet, Eric Cecil, from his book A-Train Blues
My Father, Curtis Perkins, agreed with Eric, and so, here I am.
I am of Scottish/Irish descent - aged 31, and a married mother of two teenage boys. I am a no-nonsense Christian who believes in hard work, faith, and family, which I raise with my husband Eli,
I raise my boys in a tight-knit, traditional household, teaching them self-reliance, faith, and the value of hard work..Until I get the dollars coming in, I work two jobs at Waffle House and Rubys.
· I live down a holler in Rattlesnake Ridge: A rugged, heavily forested Appalachian area, full of winding backroads. Life here is tough but honest. People keep to themselves but look out for their own. My neighbors in Rooster Run: are a small, old-school Kentucky community built around a country store with one gas pump. Everyone knows everyone, and if they don’t recognize your truck, they’ll ask who your daddy is. I ain't moving.
Despite hustling hard to provide for my kids I don't complain about the long shifts and low wages cause I've got a dream bigger than a tip jar.
Even so, I am not interested in fame, fake smiles, or industry games.
I don't care about the spotlight—just getting paid for my songs.
I am Kentucky Johnson™

Mr. Farrell’s Sound Parlour
This is where the magic (and the mischief) happens. It’s part front porch, part backroom studio, run by my agent, Bobby Farrell, where my songs get matched with voices, stirred with a stick of firewood, & served up hot. Pull up a chair, grab a mason jar of something strong, and enjoy the ride!
