Eric Johanson

Eric Johanson returns to the Maple Leaf with a sound that runs deep in Louisiana and reaches far beyond it. Heavy riffs, New Orleans funk, and wide-open psychedelic jams meet songs that stay with you long after the show. Featuring music from his new album, The Open Bayou, expect soulful vocals, guitar playing that grabs you and doesn’t let go, and plenty of room for the night to take its own shape. A #1 Billboard-charting artist named one of Guitar Player’s “Top 25 New Blues Guitarists,” Johanson is an artist worth getting up close to, especially in a room like the Leaf.
