"Who are Nigel and Laurel Johnson

“No other festival, no other place would you have that interpersonal reaction - and since that time, Ken [Block] has always made a point of saying ‘Hi’ to me and giving me a big hug…. The Rock Bat is more than music and friends, it is a very very special place” - Nigel Johnson

Nigel Johson, and his better half, Laurel Johnson are seasoned Boaters; they have been on 11 and 10 boats, respectively. The Johnsons join Chris Rhoad, BoatCast Mark, and Eammon the Cousin to talk all things TRB!

Laurel and Nigel knew they had caught the Rock Boat fever as they were watching one of their favorite bands, U2, and found themselves preferring the more intimate experience of watching less mainstream, more intimate shows with TRB bands.

Having lost a son prior to his first Boat, Nigel tells his cathartic experience (in tears, holding hands with Joshua Jenkins - previously of Green River Ordinance Boat) and Ken Block pulling them aside to open up about his own significant loss.

The couple is great at spotting new acts (Mom Rock), and looking forward to seeing the return of NEEDTOBREATHE to the big stage for TRB XXII.
