Patricio "Pat" Johnson (12/7/63, Madrid Spain) is an American roots rock singer songwriter whose major contributions have been as a member of Penelope Houston's post-Avengers bands. In the mid eighties he toured as a sideman with Florida-based Charlie Pickett. He also played briefly with Sid Griffin in Los Angeles as a founding member of The Coal Porters. He appears as well on the first two singles recorded by Royal Trux for the Drag City label and their posthumous release Hand of Glory. Johnson fronted the Wellsprings of Hope in the early 90's, releasing one CD ""Phonograph". In the mid-nineties he recorded two solo albums for the German Strange Ways label, Mooner and Invisible Juan. A longtime San Francisco resident, he continued to live and work there while collaborating further with Houston and assembling his own bands sporadically, most notably the Maydays. He moved from San Francisco to Nashville in 2014 and seemed inactive until late 2018 when he began performing again as Patricio Johnson, as well as overseeing the digital reissues of his 90s work with the artist name change.
