If you attended the Door County Fair on Thursday night, you saw country music artist KC Johns like you have never seen her before in Sturgeon Bay.

Johns showcased her newest songs like “Smoke Show,” “Break from the Heart,” and “Kind of Vibe” while she was set under the new pavilion at John Miles County Park. This time, she brought the whole band after playing in Sturgeon Bay last year as part of a trio. Hours before she took the stage, she was very complimentary of performing for Wisconsin audiences. She said she has made many good friends during her travels in the state while enjoying cheese curds and Spotted Cow along the way. The Memphis-raised, Nashville-based Johns says she draws her inspiration from many different places for her music playing and songwriting.

Johns is set to release her fourth single of 2025, “Best Seat in the House,” on August 29th. If you missed her at the Door County Fair on Thursday, her swing through Wisconsin also includes stops in Appleton and Whitehall. You can watch the full interview below.
