In 2014, Big Sugar released an album called "Yard Style" which contains unplugged versions of nine of their original songs, plus four previously unreleased songs. The entire album was recorded live off the floor with the large group of musicians, many on hand drums, sitting in a circle 'yard style'. This release was followed by a three-month national theatre tour with the ensemble of musicians from the studio recording, resulting in 10–12 musicians onstage nightly. Reggae legend Willi Williams, a past musical collaborator, was a featured performer for this tour. The tour was completely acoustic showcasing Johnson's vocal abilities along with the rhythmic group of hand drummers and Big Sugar's song melodies.
