Legend has it that Chris will play so hard that his fingers bleed in a set. The legend is true. Chris Duarte is a road warrior playing more than 150 dates a year.
Eric Johanson blends sharp songwriting with a deep connection to the guitar, creating music that’s dynamic, soulful, and rooted in a mix of rock, blues, and modern influences.
