Singer

While creating his new album, 2023’s The Deep and the Dirty, Eric Johanson’s previous album cracked the Top 10 on the Billboard Blues chart. It was his fourth time reaching the Top 10. And for a Louisiana native who’d grown up idolizing bluesmen like Freddie King and Robert Johnson, it felt pretty good. Even so, genre success didn’t discourage Johanson from reaching beyond the blues for The Deep and the Dirty’s eclectic, electrifying songs.

Eric Johanson is a triple-threat artist. The multiple-Top 10 Billboard-charting guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter’s original music reaches beyond traditional genre lines of blues, rock, and progressive Americana, all while feeding off the groove and history of his home in New Orleans. His four most recent solo releases: Live at DBA, New Orleans Bootleg, Covered Tracks, Vol. 1, Covered Tracks, Vol. 2 and Below Sea Level all reached Top 10 on the Billboard blues charts and the January 23, 2023 issue of Guitar Player magazine listed him as one of 25 Top New Blues Guitarists.

Singer/songwriter Samantha Fish grew up in Missouri and found her love of songwriting in her late teens, taking inspiration from Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen. She began playing the guitar at 15 and started cold-calling local bars, looking for gigs. “I used to open the phone book and call up every place in Kansas City, even if they didn’t have live shows,” she said. “I had maybe a three percent success rate, but eventually I started filling up my calendar. If you put on a good enough show, word of mouth gets around.”
