"His work resides at the heart of what Woody Guthrie was talking about when he asked and answered whose land this is. By listening to him, one gets the sense that he knows you, that he’s heard your stories and felt your struggles and understands your highs and your lows. He, like so much else, was made to be shared, made to be cherished, made for you and me." - For the Folks
Eric has opened for the Grammy artists Fantastic Negrito, Shawn Colvin and Marc Cohn as well as acoustic and country music greats Doug MacLeod, Guy Davis and Josh Turner.
