"No gimmicks, definitely no fourth wall. He simply weaves a gentle spell with his tender, folk-rock anthems of the heart. He has a vast canon of songs that make you think about life, love & the beauty we take for granted."
Bio / Background
Eric might as well have a campfire on stage. The warmth and intimacy of his songs and performance style embrace every person in the audience. Stephen Seigel (Tucson Weekly) writes: "...His trademarked earnest-in-a-time-of-irony-songwriting." His body of work includes whimsical songs about frogs and baby geese, passionate songs about love lost and love found, playful adult songs with a groove and sexy slant and inspirational songs that ask human beings to build a bridge of hands in cooperation. His performances have made grown men cry and children adore him.
There is a sense of humor both in the guitar work and the sensibility of this sensual and thoughtful man. The first thing you notice is his voice, which combined with intense and confident guitar playing, makes for a rich and exciting musical experience.
Originally from Highland, Indiana, Eric began playing guitar and singing at family gatherings at the age of nine.
↓ more ↓He played in Chicago coffee houses throughout his teens, and then studied guitar, voice and musical composition at Chicago Musical College, where he stumbled upon the theater department. He spent four years as both songwriter and performer with Chicago's Free Street Theater, then 17 years in New York working in musicals, plays, radio plays, commercials, soap operas, cabaret and nightclubs.
Eric has sung in concert halls, tunnels, theatres, prison, churches, hockey stadiums, mental institutions, sidewalks, hospital beds, on the phone.
