Eric is a singer-songwriter from New Jersey. Since 1990 He has released eight albums on his own label. His two most obvious influences are his two biggest heroes, Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello. The spirits of Loudon Wainwright, John Hiatt, Paul Westerberg and even Leonard Cohen have been known to creep into the studio as well.
Twenty years of performing in packed clubs and empty coffee houses alike have molded Eric into an exciting live performer with a sense of humility and humor rarely seen in the crowded field of (over-) sensitive singer-songwriters.

"Clever, passionate lyrics and a melodic, catchy, sound" -- The Sentinel . . . "Tight pop-folk gems bristling with wry sarcasm and desperate longing" -- Georgetown Weekly
