Listen up and I’ll tell a story about an artist! Now, this artist is not just any old chum with a guitar and a pretty voice. This artist went on to become one of the most influential people to have ever picked up a microphone. He’s been hailed as an inspiration by the likes of Kurt Cobain and Lana Del Rey but, despite his influence and underground acclaim, his work went largely unrecognized by the mainstream music media. This is the sad, true-life story of the outsider artist.

This is, Daniel Dale Johnston.
