Eric Johnson
2025-10-19 19:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
One of the most outstanding instrumentalists in rock over the past 40 years, Texas guitarist Eric Johnson was already a legend before he recorded his first album. By the early 1980s, many celebrated guitarists were singing the praises of this skinny kid from Austin with mind-melting chops. Comparisons were made to such guitar heroes as Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix and when he joined the ‘70s Austin fusion band Electromagnets, they were being hailed as “the Mahavishnu Orchestra of Texas”. With the release of his highly-anticipated 1986 solo debut album Tones, the underground guitar legend finally emerged onto the scene fully-formed. It landed him on the cover of Guitar Player magazine, which hailed the album as a “majestic debut”, and earned him his first Grammy nomination for the song “Zap”. With the release of his follow up album, 1990’s platinum-selling Ah Via Musicom, which contained the Grammy Award-winning song “Cliffs of Dover”, Eric Johnson became a bona fide international guitar phenomenon.

Her 2025 album is the road trip record you’ve been longing for—full of raw storytelling and emotional resonance. With every project, she creates an experience that’s felt and shared, embodying a Woodstock-era spirit that uplifts through passion, joy, and connection.

Off The Rails with Sam Bush & Tim O’Brien

Off The Rails with Sam Bush & Tim O’Brien at Harken Hall October 22
Harken Hall is proud to continue the Off The Rails series with two of Americana’s most beloved and influential artists: Tim O’Brien and Sam Bush.
Friends for half a century, these two helped blaze new trails in traditional string music. Newly inducted into the Bluegrass Hall of Fame as co-founder of Hot Rize, Grammy winner O’Brien has written songs for Garth Brooks, Dierks Bentley, and Bush’s own Newgrass Revival. Fellow Bluegrass Hall of Famer and Bowling Green Kentucky native Sam Bush is a pioneer of the progressive bluegrass sound and the reining King of Telluride. Everybody from Leon Russell to Emmy Lou Harris knows Sam IS the man. Expect rhythmic propulsion, powerful singing, and dueling mandolins and fiddles in their first ever duet appearance.
Together, these longtime friends bring unmatched chemistry to the stage — trading songs, harmonies, and stories in a performance that is equal parts virtuosity and camaraderie.
The name Off The Rails nods to Madison Station’s rail heritage, but it also reflects the series’ spirit: a space where artists leave the expected behind, embrace spontaneity, and let creativity run wild. With Sam and Tim leading the way, no two nights could ever be the same.
