One of the most outstanding instrumentalists in rock over the past 40 years, Texas guitarist Eric Johnson was already a legend before he recorded his first album. By the early 1980s, many celebrated guitarists were singing the praises of this skinny kid from Austin with the mind-melting chops. With the release of his highly anticipated 1986 solo debut album “Tones,” the underground guitar legend finally emerged onto the scene fully formed. It landed him on the cover of Guitar Player magazine, which hailed the album as a “majestic debut”, and earned him his first Grammy nomination for the song “Zap.” Since then, Johnson has been nominated seven more times, winning a Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental Performance for “Cliffs of Dover” in 1991.  

Over the course of his more than four-decade career, the guitar legend has released seventeen albums, exploring various musical genres including rock, blues, jazz, fusion, soul, folk, new-age, classical, and even country. His skill and innovation earned him inductions into the Guitar Player Gallery of Greats and the Texas Heritage Songwriters Association Hall of Fame.
