Dean Johnson & Esther Rose at Chickie Wah Wah – New Orleans, LA

Get your tickets to see Dean Johnson & Esther Rose in New Orleans, LA. Happening on Tuesday, December 9, 2025 at Chickie Wah Wah. Doors open at 8:00 PM.

With I Hope We Can Still Be Friends, his debut for Saddle Creek, Dean Johnson makes a pact with the listener: He will sing you his truth in the most heartfelt and charming way possible, if you promise to keep an open mind. The title partly stems from the playful way the Seattle-based singer, songwriter and guitarist communes with his audiences at concerts. I hope youre not afraid to talk to me after the show, hell say, sweetly, before launching into Death of the Party, the albums seventh song. Centered on the energy vampire archetype the exasperating windbag weve all encountered at some point its lyrics are at once intellectually biting and unmistakably hilarious. His tender voice rings out like the ghost of Roy Orbison or a misfit Everly brother.
