When Will Johnson isn't touring or recording with his main projects Centro-matic and South San Gabriel, making solo records or working on his visual art (his folk-style paintings have been displayed in galleries from Texas to New York), the prolific renaissance man keeps busy with a slew of notable side projects. He's a member of the indie supergroup Monsters of Folk, featuring M. Ward, My Morning Jacket's Jim James and Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst. He's got a debut full-length on the way from Overseas, his new collaboration with former Pedro the Lion frontman David Bazan and brothers Matt and Bubba Kadane of The New Year.
