Eric Johnson

Eric Johnson brings his guitar craft to KK's Steel Mill in Wolverhampton on 22 July 2026. The Austin native first turned heads with the fusion group The Electromagnets before stepping out solo with Tones, then cementing his name with Ah Via Musicom and the Grammy-winning Cliffs of Dover. A guitarist with a clear melodic line and a refined sense of harmony, he’s also a singer, pianist and songwriter, comfortable weaving rock, blues, jazz fusion, folk and a hint of country into his set.

On stage, expect the singing sustain and precise articulation that defined his early records, balanced with newer pieces from albums like EJ, The Book of Making and Yesterday Meets Today. Johnson often shifts between electric trio energy and quieter acoustic passages, letting dynamics and space do the work. His setlists tend to travel across eras, revisiting themes from Zap to Cliffs of Dover with fresh voicings, fluid phrasing and room for improvisation.

This date offers a focused tour of four decades of music, where tone, melody and feel lead the conversation.
