About Me

MySpace Layouts MySpace Layouts

Eric Johnson is 33 years old and has been playing bass for over fifteen years. He first picked up the bass guitar in high school. He was going to play guitar but a teacher convinced him to try the bass, and there’s been no looking back since then.

Eric’s musical style can be summed up in one word, simple. He’s very laid back in his style however he does find ways to put his own stamp on whatever he’s playing. Playing everything from Country to Jazz and hard Rock, Eric lives in the music. He enjoys listening to a wide variety of music and drawing influences from several different artists.

In his off time, Eric enjoys football, computers, slapstick comedy, and spending time with friends and family.
