His accolades include eight Grammy nominations, a Grammy win for “Cliffs of Dover,” lifetime induction into the Guitar Player Gallery of Greats, and repeated honors in his hometown of Austin, where readers of the Austin Chronicle voted him “Best Electric Guitarist,” “Best Acoustic Guitarist,” and “Electric Guitarist of the Decade.” In February 2024, Johnson was inducted into the Texas Heritage Songwriters Association Hall of Fame.
Eric Johnson’s most recent studio release is a double album comprised of two distinct works, The Book of Making and Yesterday Meets Today, released simultaneously on July 29, 2022.
