I love Johannes new album – can’t wait to see him in Oakville again on the 21st!
Amazing, talented – a joy to watch and hear – Johannes Linstead is a must too see this Saturday night!
We learned about Johannes about 10 years ago. Since then, we follow him around to hear his music at every opportunity. To us he is a musical prophet. We just love what he does. On top of that, he is an exemplary human being unlike other famous musicians.
His songs are in all our family cars, and in every CD player we have at home. We always carry his albums to our many Carribean vacations. The entertainment teams in the resorts gladly play Johannes’ music and many hotel guests ask us who is Johannes. It makes us happy that other people like our choice, his music. We will be in Oakville this weekend.

Johannes’ magic both at the strings and as a spiritual mentor is a gift to his fans and students. Give yourself a treat and take in a live concert or blissful yoga class. You will love the stunning music or peaceful tranquility eminating from this extraordinary artist’s spirit.
I have followed Johannes for a few years and have enjoyed all of his music. He has such a beautiful musical soul that seems to flow from the strings of his guitar that captures you. I have just started following his yoga class and it is such a peaceful meditation that everyone needs to experience. Enjoy one of Johannes’ concerts…it will keep you wanting more.
Kindest regards,
Vicki
I met Johannes the first time when I treated his fractured little finger in 2009 and had a chance to witness his extraordinary and magic performance on stage at Lula Lounge two weeks later. Johannes’s music is so inspiring, uplifting and enlightening that my patients enjoy it during each therapy treatment session and subsequently bought the CDs. Johannes is a talented guitarist and composer and is well known in Europe and in the US. As an Oakviller, I’m happy to see Johannes perform more frequently in Oakville and the GTA so that more Ontarians have a taste of his beautiful and gifted music. Johannes teaches Kundalini Yoga at my clinic every Sunday and is an inspiring mental and spiritual coach for his students. His music reflects his spiritual mind and soul and yet he can inspire all to get to the dance floor to Salsa and Cha Cha whenever he performs with his group on stage. We are proud to have such a great talent in Oakville.
