Craig S Johnson

Craig S Johnson is an independent recording artist and creator of original pickleball music, blending country, southern rock, and a little good-natured humor into songs inspired by life on and off the courts.

Splitting his time between New Hampshire and Florida, Craig is an avid pickleball player who knows firsthand the friendships, competition, laughter, and unforgettable moments that make the game so special. What started as a love for playing pickleball grew into a passion for creating music that captures the spirit of the sport.

His original songs celebrate everything from competitive matches and court friendships to playful romance, road trips, and the joy of living life to the fullest. With driving guitars, catchy choruses, and an upbeat country-rock sound, his music is made for players who love the game as much as he does.

With four albums of original pickleball music — I Love Pickleball, Pickleball Country, USA, Dinking & Driving, and 11-10-2 (And Coming to You) — Craig is building a soundtrack for pickleball players, clubs, leagues, tournaments, and fans everywhere.

For Craig, it's not about chasing the spotlight. It's about having fun, sharing the music, bringing people together, and enjoying every moment along the way.

The game brings us together. The music keeps us playing.
