Mike Erickson Band

With the release of their debut CD in September 2006, the Mike Erickson Band is a constantly evolving musical experience and serves as an excellent introduction to Erickson's songwriting prowess. An avant-funk/rock orgy of soulful grooves and infectious melodies, the Mike Erickson Band is clearly not your average jam band. With a long list of influences including the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane, Medeski Martin and Wood, John Scofield, Wes Montgomery, Led Zeppelin, Carlos Santana and Blind Melon, Erickson's music is constantly evolving.
