About
Eric Johanson is an American blues-rock guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter born in Alexandria, Louisiana, and long based in New Orleans. Self-taught from age five, he cut his teeth playing clubs with seasoned musicians as a teenager before Tab Benoit signed him to Whiskey Bayou Records and produced his debut, Burn It Down (2017). His 2023 Ruf Records album The Deep and the Dirty debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Albums chart, and Guitar Player Magazine named him one of its 25 Best New Blues Guitarists.
