Johns is a three-time APRA Songwriter of the Year winner.

Other performers unveiled this morning were Jimmy Barnes, Diesel, producer M-Phazes, Lisa Mitchell, Thelma Plum, E Street Band saxophonist and solo performer Jake Clemons, singer songwriters Penelope Austin and Andy Bull, Sydney’s Thief, tenor Mark Vincent, soprano Julie Lea Goodwin and Melbourne band Kingswood.
