Eric Johanson - "Live in Mississippi" Album Release Party

The best live albums put you right there on the front row. And as the raucous Friday-night crowd welcomes Eric Johanson to the stage at the Ground Zero Club in Biloxi, Mississippi, for a set that mines his Billboard-topping studio catalogue, you’ll feel this generational performer in your bones.

“I want Live in Mississippi to make people feel like they're at our show,” says the Louisiana-born bandleader of the live album bottled last August in the home of the blues and released March 21, 2025, on Ruf Records. “Whether they've just seen the band and want to take a piece of that home with them, or they’ve never seen us perform at all, I want it to bring across the energy and emotion of the live show.”

Eric Johanson (New Orleans) stands at the forefront of modern blues music with his groundbreaking album, The Deep and the Dirty. Released on Ruf Records, his album skyrocketed to #1 on the Billboard Blues charts, cementing Johanson's status as a trailblazing force in contemporary blues and rock music. His electrifying power trio performed in over 100 cities and 10 countries in 2024 alone and has toured extensively as a headliner and support for acts like The Record Company, Samantha Fish, Tab Benoit, North Mississippi Allstars, Christine “Kingfish” Ingram and more.
