In the music industry, 2020 will be remembered as a bleak year, thanks to COVID-19. Touring has been shut down since March. Venues across the country have closed their doors. Even those that have managed to hang on have gone through lockdowns and mandatory closures that have darkened their stages, leaving artists who depend on steady gigs scrambling to make alternative arrangements to pay the bills. In many ways, most musicians are glad to see it go — but not Johnathen Clayton. For 21-year-old “Johno,” as he’s known around Blount County, 2020 marked a turning point. It was the year he cut the safety line tying him to a civilian 9-to-5 and took the plunge into making music as a career. It was the year he began making inroads into Nashville, the city that undoubtedly will play a role in his country music future.
