Born and raised in North GA, this handsome singer/ songwriter decided to jumpstart his music career by moving to Athens, GA- the birthplace for both modern alternative rock and New Wave Music. Picking up local gigs throughout the college city helped him to catch the eye of country rocker Zac from the Zac Brown Band and land the opening act for the alternative country group most nights at the famed GA Theatre. Following in the footsteps of major music groups and artists to come out of Athens like R.E.M, Widespread Panic and the B-52's, to name a few, Eric has quickly built up a wide ranging fan base from screaming college girls to old school rockers.
