SHOW DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGEOne of the most outstanding instrumentalists in rock over the past 40 years, Texas guitarist Eric Johnson was already a legend before he recorded his first album. By the early 1980s, many celebrated guitarists were singing the praises of this skinny kid from Austin with the mind-melting chops. Comparisons were made to such guitar heroes as Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix and when he joined the '70s Austin fusion band Electromagnets they were being hailed as "the Mahavishnu Orchestra of Texas". With the release of his highly-anticipated 1986 solo debut album Tones, the underground guitar legend finally emerged onto the scene fully-formed. It landed him on the cover of Guitar Player magazine, which hailed the album as a "majestic debut", and earned him his first Grammy nomination for the song "Zap". With the release of his follow up album, 1990's platinum-selling Ah Via Musicom, which contained the Grammy Award winning song "Cliffs of Dover", Eric Johnson became a bona fide international guitar phenomenon.2023 found Eric on his 'Treasure Tour', 67 US dates that were split between a Spring and a Fall tour. In January and February 2024 Eric joined the 'G3 Reunion Tour' with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, and the resulting new live album from the tour will be released in January 2025. In August 2024 he heads out for a run of dates in the north and northeast including the Backroads Blues Festival in New York. In September and October 2024 Eric wasa featured performer on the 'Experience Hendrix 2024 Tour', crossing the country from Washington state to Florida, and then rejoined in March and April 2025 for the 'Experience Hendrix 2025 Tour' throughout the east and northeast USA and Canada.Over the course of more than four decades, Eric Johnson has been traveling on a prolific odyssey. Along the way, his creations have cross-pollinated the various musical genres which include rock, blues, jazz, fusion, soul, folk, new-age, classical, and even country. Inevitably EJ says it best himself in sharing that regardless of the genre "It really boils down to the music and the song at the end of the day", he explains. "The most important thing for me is to grow musically and make a more expansive and meaningful artistic statement with every new project"
