Few rock guitarists can take an audience on an unforgettable journey like Eric
Johnson can – who has been delivering stellar recordings and unforgettable live
performances for decades by this point.
And come January, Johnson will give fans more stand-out concert memories to
cherish, as it has been announced that he will be touring the U.S., in support
of his latest album, 'Up Close.'
The string of dates run from January 4-29 and will be a rare treat as most shows
will be an evening with Eric Johnson as Eric and his band (bassist Chris Maresh
and drummer Wayne Salzmann) will be the only performers – except for six dates,
which will feature talented acoustic guitarist Andy McKee (1/6 NYC, 1/7
Phoenixville, 1/12 Chicago, 1/14 Chicago, 1/18 Anaheim, and 1/19 Los Angeles),
while Peppino wil open 1/21 in Visalia.
Johnson will be performing on a variety of stellar equipment that he fully
endorses, including a newly released “Signature Series” speaker by Eminence and”
“Fuzz Face” by Dunlop (distortion pedal) retro'd back to Hendrix model.
Exactly a year ago, the aforementioned 'Up Close' was released – Johnson's sixth
studio release over, which featured such special guests as Sonny Landreth, Steve
Miller, Jimmie Vaughan, and Jonny Lang, and was later reissued as a beautiful
180-gram vinyl edition.
Soon, guitar aficionados will get a chance to ring in the New Year by
experiencing guitar great Eric Johnson's music the best way imaginable - on a
nearby concert stage.
