Hello World! I have not posted anything for awhile. \u00a0My goal was to have one blog post up a month. \u00a0I have several more in the musical pipeline, and I will get them out. \u00a0Life happens you know… so I had a bit of a quandary – which one to feature next? \u00a0In honor of “Get Out Your Guitar Day” (February 11th), \u00a0I am going with Eric Johanson.<\/p>\n

Now I can’t play guitar but Eric Johanson can! \u00a0He opened for Tab Benoit last month at the Tupelo Music Hall in Derry, NH. \u00a0Rarely the artist you are opening for, sits in on your set playing drums. \u00a0But that is exactly what happened. \u00a0Johanson also had the support of bass player Corey Duplechin (as seen in this video from a few years ago-Burn It Down<\/a> \u00a0 ). \u00a0Eric told me he met Benoit via Cyril Neville 9 years ago. \u00a0Not only did Tab sign him to his record label, Whiskey Bayou, he and Corey play on Eric’s album. Take a listen to \u00a0The Fugitive <\/a>\u00a0too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Eric told me he likes Sun House,Fred McDowell\u00a0and Jason Isbell.<\/p>\n

Sun House – Death Letter Blues<\/a><\/p>\n

Fred McDowell- Shake’Em On Down<\/a><\/p>\n

Jason Isbell-Tupelo<\/a><\/p>\n

You must be crazy to think I am going to end this post without a Tab Benoit video-\u00a0For What It’s Worth<\/a>. \u00a0Need more Tab? Take a look back at the July 2018 blog post (insert shameless plug).<\/p>\n
