About
Eric has worked as lead guitarist for several national touring artists including ZZ's Best, Jim Morris & the Big Bamboo Band, and the Ronnie Morgan Band opening for dozens of Nashville headliners including Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, Toby Keith, Diamond Rio, Rascal Flatts, and Little Big Town. He's been writing and performing his original music in venues across the country for several years and has produced two CD's of his own. Heavily influenced by the Texas blues styles of Johnny Winter, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Billy Gibbons, Eric honed his skills as a blues guitarist and became a sought after sideman. More recently, he has developed an acoustic guitar solo show focused on classic rock of the 60's, 70's and 80's. The current set list includes acoustic favorites from Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Bob Dylan and others. He is based out of Western North Carolina.
