Eric Johnson
By Charlotte Stace
Eric Johnson brings his Texaphonic 2026 Tour to Razzmatazz, offering a masterclass in tone and beautifully controlled guitarwork. The Texan musician is widely considered one of rock’s great instrumentalists, with a career spanning more than four decades, seventeen albums and multiple Grammy nominations.
Best known for the Grammy-winning “Cliffs of Dover,” his playing moves between rock, blues, jazz fusion, country, soul and more atmospheric orchestral textures. His credits include the platinum-selling G3 Live with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, as well as Eclectic, his collaboration with jazz guitarist Mike Stern.
For this European run, he’ll be performing with drummer Tal Bergman and bassist Daniel Kimbro, shaping the tour as a tight blues-rock power trio. Whether you’re a diehard fan or not, it’s well worth catching this guitar master live in action.
