Best Bets: Michael Johnson performs in Cloquet

The folk singer behind the 1978 hit “Bluer than Blue” and country singles “Give Me Wings” and “The Moon is Still Over Her Shoulders” returns to the area for a meet-n-greet and concert.

Michael Johnson will be interviewed by husband-wife duo Bill & Kate Isles during a session that includes photos, videos, 40 years of tales from the music biz and a Q&A with the audience.

Johnson performs later that night.

Looking for a good Q? Michael Johnson was once roommates with Steve Martin and gets a one-sentence shout out in the comedian’s memoir “Born Standing Up.” Ask him about that.
