Episode 1173: Eric Johnson / Zak Loy (Live) Turns 40!

Hello friends! Grammy winning, Austin-based, singer-songwriter and certified guitar hero, Eric Johnson is my guest for episode 1173! He's releasing two separate, genre-bending albums, The Book Of Making and Yesterday Meets Today on July 29th. Go to ericjohnson.com for music, mini video lessons, tour dates and much more. Eric and I have a great conversation about making two albums during quarantine and exploring different genres with them, the theme of hope in the new albums, inventing a language on guitar, celebrating 25 years of G-3 with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, making major-label records in the 80's and 90's, cassettes making a comeback and much more! I had a great time getting to know Eric. Im sure you will too. Plus, my old friend Zak Loy from the band, Live checks in to talk about his 40th birthday shindig at Antone's next Wed. 6/15 featuring, Alpha Rev, Dames Violet, Sounds Under Radio, me and an Endochine reunion.
