Eric Johanson Live at Tip Top Deluxe

Eric Johanson brings his dynamic blend of rock, roots, blues, and modern influences to Tip Top Deluxe Bar & Grill. Known for expressive, riff-driven guitar work that serves the song, his music channels the swampy pulse of his New Orleans home while exploring heavier, fuzz-laden textures. Expect a performance that balances grit and finesse, power and restraint, rooted in sharp songwriting and a deep connection to the guitar.

Johanson's career spans collaborations with artists like Tab Benoit, Cyril Neville, and Anders Osborne, as well as appearances at festivals such as the Chicago Blues Festival and New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. His journey from Alexandria, Louisiana, through Hurricane Katrina and a stint in New Zealand, to becoming an in-demand session musician in New Orleans, informs his soulful, purposeful sound. This show offers a chance to experience his searing guitar work and persuasive songwriting up close in an intimate venue.
