In St. Louis’ Central West End on a cool summer night, blues singer and guitarist Eric Johanson delivered a thrilling performance at the Blue Strawberry. Johanson opened his set with “Undertow,” where he showcased his stellar guitar skills right out of the gate. The music was magic, setting the crowd up for a truly amazing musical experience! His next song, hit “Below Sea Level,” energized the crowd and produced an ovation that shook the walls of the venue. “Live Oak” was another huge hit Johanson rocked the house to: a song off his first album about his hometown of New Orleans. Johanson is an artist worth watching. The combination of his songwriting, vocal skills, and guitar work set him apart as a performer poised for huge success. | Paul Liggett
