This April Johnson will continue his live touring with four exclusive Texas shows featuring an all new band line-up and with special guest Michael Landau opening the dates. Joining Johnson in his band are Roscoe Beck (Robben Ford, Leonard Cohen) on bass, Keith Carlock (Steely Dan, James Taylor, Sting) on drums and Sean Giddings (Alejandro Escovedo, Christopher Cross) on keyboard. The tour continues the celebration of Johnson’s TWO new separate studio albums, The Book of Making and Yesterday Meets Today. Both were released last summer via Blue Élan Records with Ultimate Classic Rock praising “…it’s one highlight after another…” and Guitar World agreeing “… jam-packed with gorgeously assembled gain-dipped lead lines that traverse the fretboard via a blend of heavenly bends and sophisticated scale runs that carry a whiff of ‘Cliffs of Dover.’”
