Eric Johanson brings The Open Bayou Tour to the stage with a high-energy live show built on heavy grooves, slide guitar, blues at the core, and songs that hit just as hard as the playing. A powerful singer, songwriter, and one of the most distinctive guitar voices on the road today, Johanson delivers the kind of raw, visceral performance that hits much harder in the room than through a screen. If you've been waiting to catch the show live, this is the one.
