Michigan Musician

Meet Freshwater Cowboy

West Michigan native Ethan Johnson, uncommonly referred to as Freshwater Cowboy, has recently sailed into the live music scene of the greater Grand Rapids area. After years of woodshedding and creating some stories of his own, Ethan has decided to give local fans and friends alike the ideas that got him here through a mix of both cover songs and original writes.
