Any of you guys familiar with Eric Johanson? I saw him play a set at Maple Leaf during Po Boy Fest last year and was really impressed. I see that he's been on a tour out west lately. He was also supposed to put out an album this year but I haven't heard any more about that.



I didn't realize he was back in New Orleans. He used to go by the names Emptyself and Cire, and definitely wasn't blues rock.

I apparently missed him at Fest For All a few years ago.

This video may be from the show you were at

I honestly much prefer his Emptyself sound, but I imagine playing the blues gets you more gigs down here.

Wow, it's hard to believe that's even the same guy. Completely different sound. I like it a lot but was really blown away by the set that I saw. Of course live music always sounds better anyway. I came out of the Maple Leaf that day wondering where else in the world you can walk into a place on a Sunday afternoon and hear music like that for free.

Not the same show but very representative of what I saw.
