B.A. Johnston, born Christian Johnston in Hamilton, Ontario, is a Canadian comedic folk musician and performance artist known for his fiercely independent approach and chaotic, audience-immersive live shows. Emerging in the early 2000s, Johnston built a cult following through relentless touring, DIY album releases, and songs that blend absurdist humour with sharp observations about working-class Canadian life. His discography includes My Heart Is a Blinking Nintendo (2005), Call Me When Old and Fat Is the New Young and Sexy (2008), The Skid Is Hot Tonight (2019), Werewolves of London, Ontario (2022), and Argos Suck (2023). Tracks like “Sesame Street Fighter,” “I Don’t Buy No Government Weed,” and “We’re All Going to Jail” showcase his lo-fi folk-punk style—often built around simple acoustic guitar, chant-along choruses, and deliberately raw production. Johnston frequently breaks the fourth wall during performances, wandering into crowds, oversharing personal anecdotes, and blurring the line between satire and sincerity. Deeply tied to Hamilton’s cultural identity, he has become a local icon while maintaining an international touring presence across Canada, the UK, and beyond.
