I had the opportunity to see Eric Johnson perform some of the numbers from Bloom at the Grove in Anaheim on May 3rd. It seems that the Grammy winner is almost always touring — as a headliner, co-headliner, or — as was the case on this evening — an opening act.
The Grove is an intimate dinner-theater improbably located in the Anaheim Stadium parking lot. On the outside, it looks like a large movie sound stage… with lots of parking. Inside, it is cozy with a good sized lobby and a quasi-exclusive lounge beset with lavish chairs, near-eastern throw rugs, and $15 drinks. Despite the pricey libations, this hall is not to be missed.
