Event Info

Eric Johanson blends sharp songwriting with a deep connection to the guitar, creating music thats dynamic, soulful, and rooted in a mix of rock, roots, blues, and modern influences. His playing is expressive without being flashyriff-driven and rhythmic one moment, fluid and melodic the nextalways serving the song rather than overpowering it. Theres a rawness to his sound, but also a sense of purpose, pulling from the weight of tradition while pushing toward something new. Whether channeling the swampy pulse of his New Orleans home or leaning into heavier, fuzz-laden textures, Johansons music strikes a balance between grit and finesse, power and restraint. As American Songwriter puts it, he displays his guitar prowess but within the borders of melodies and lyrics that push the boundaries of blues/rock searing guitar work, and persuasive songwriting.
