Eric Johnson performs at The Hamilton Live in Washington, DC on October 16, 2016. No longer simply a hotshot guitar slinger from Austin, Texas, Eric Johnson has achieved elder statesman status in the pantheon of accomplished American musicians. Famous for his technique, tone and dexterity, his playing ranges from the attack of straight-out Hendrix inspired blues rock to sweet power pop to the most exquisite of acoustic instrumentals.  On his most recent tour, Eric performs a solo acoustic set on a stage unadorned with nothing but a simple plastic chair, his guitars and a grand piano. I attended the Washington, DC stop at The Hamilton Live to marvel at the spectacular guitar work (how did he do THAT?!), but was pleasantly surprised at Ericâs accomplished piano songs to which he brings the same care and expertise as his guitarwork. The new album, EJ, is a collection of acoustic and piano songs, both covers and original compositions, that showcase a side of Eric Johnson we donât often see. Elder statesman are supposed to surprise and delight us. 

If you get a chance, catch Eric live and definitely pick up the new album. Find much more here: <a href="http://www.ericjohnson.com/news" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.ericjohnson.com/news</a>
