The band toured the US and Europe and performed on PBS show Austin City Limits in October 2010. Johnson became an official member of the band during that time. From 2009 to 2012, Johnson collaborated with Jay Farrar, Jim James and Anders Parker on the Woody Guthrie archive project "New Multitudes". The project involved the four songwriters setting music to Guthrie's unrecorded lyrics, and was recorded in a number of locations. The tribute album was released in 2012 with a short US tour following. Johnson formed the band Overseas in 2009 with David Bazan and Matt and Bubba Kadane. An eponymous album was released in 2013. As part of Monsters of Folk, Johnson participated in Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit in 2009. At the benefit, Johnson reconnected with former babysitter and family friend Sheryl Crow, who is also from Johnson's hometown. An avid baseball fan as a child, Johnson roots for the St. Louis Cardinals. Since 2008 Johnson has produced a number of folk art paintings, mostly centering on the subject of baseball and its history. Commissions from friends eventually led to his work being exhibited in group and solo art shows. As of 2013, Johnson currently lives in Austin, Texas.
