Eldon Johnson was born and raised in the small town of Williston, in the northwest corner of North Dakota. He began his musical endeavors at the age of 5, and writing songs in his teens. He has continued playing music throughout the upper Midwest, garnering a tremendous following of loyal and devoted fans. He released "Down The Road" with his band, True North, in 2006.

His sophomore album, "The Other Side," was released in June, 2009. Eldon entered the Colgate Country Showdown as a solo artist in 2007, winning the ND State Finals, and also won the Midwest Regional-advancing him to the National Finals at the world-famous Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN on January 24, 2008, which was hosted by LeAnn Rimes. He was one of only five finalists out of over 50,000 across the nation that entered the contest, finishing in SECOND place and competing for $100,000 on the grandest of stages. His success and notoriety has certainly legitimized Eldon's place among the elite "up-and-comers" in the country music industry. Currently residing in Fargo, ND, Johnson continues to hone his skills as a singer/songwriter and performer, and also works as a contemporary music coordinator at a local church. Eldon's local, regional, and national popularity and loyal fan base continue to grow with each well-crafted show. His style has been described as a cross between the driving country/rock of Keith Urban, the infectious grooves of Dave Matthews, and the smooth rhythms of Jack Johnson," and his intricate and carefully-crafted lyrics blend seamlessly with the warm, smooth texture of his voice.
