Clear Channel Radio’s Q104.3 Celebrates 10th Anniversary Of “Out Of The Box” With Special Performance By Award-Winning Recording Artist And Guitarist Eric Johnson

New York – May 5, 2011 – Q104.3, New York’s classic rock station, announced today that contemporary music artist and guitarist Eric Johnson will perform an intimate show at the P.C. Richard & Son Theater in New York City on May 12, as part of Q104.3’s 10th anniversary celebration of its “Out of the Box” show. “Out of the Box” is a weekly show on Q104.3 that features the best in new music from classic rock legends as well as newer bands/artists, and the best local, unsigned and undiscovered bands/artists from the garages and basements around the tri-state area. “Out of the Box” host Jonathan “JC” Clarke will host the event, which will stream live on Q1043.com at 7:00 p.m.
 
“Eric Johnson is one of the most respected guitarists of all time,” said Jonathan Clarke, Host/Executive Producer. “His performance will be the perfect way to celebrate “Out of the Box’s” 10th anniversary. With his signature style and dynamic live performance, it will definitely be a memorable show for both the team at Q104.3 and all our fans.”
 
Johnson’s music blends Jimi Hendrix’s rock style with Albert King’s power blues. His latest album Up Close was released in the U.S. on December 7, 2010. Johnson’s 1990 platinum selling album Ah Via Musicom featured the popular single “Cliffs of Dover,” for which he won the 1991 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.
 
Over the past decade, some of the biggest names in rock have stopped by “Out of the Box” including Ronnie Wood, Stevie Nicks, Ray Davies, Slash and Bryan Adams. “Out of the Box” was the first radio station in the nation to play Maroon 5, The Strokes, Robert Randolph and The Gaslight Anthem among others, prior to their having had record deals.
 
“Out of the Box” airs Sunday nights at 9 p.m. on Q104.3. In addition to Johnson’s performance, the event will also feature special guest musicians Will Lee and Anton Fig from the CBS Orchestra, who have been featured on The Late Show with David Letterman. Johnson will be touring throughout the year with the Experience Hendrix 2011 tour.
