Haley Johnsen Highlights FG4K on National Guitar Day

Recognize the Name? Haley Johnsen Recognizes the Mission.

The Portland-based singer-songwriter — known for her soulful blend of Alt-Pop, Americana, and folk-rock — first captured national attention as an American Idol Top 24 finalist and has continued building a powerful body of work, most recently with Late Bloomer (2024).

On National Guitar Day, Haley highlighted FG4K and the deeper meaning behind the instrument itself — something she understands well. Themes of resilience and self-discovery run through her music, mirroring what we see when students receive a guitar for the first time.

And her support isn’t new here at FG4K. Haley has shown up for this mission before, using her platform and voice to champion music access in meaningful ways.

With her post landing just one day after our latest giveaway, the timing felt especially full circle.

Thank you, Haley for your impact and we love you over here at FG4K!
