Over the years, Eric has performed with groups that have opened for well known acts such as Foghat, The Outlaws, and Pat Travers. Eric has also performed alongside various artists including vocalist Don Dokken (Dokken), bassist Barry Sparks (Ted Nugent, Dokken) and keyboardist/violinist Martin Gerschwitz (Eric Burdon and The Animals).
For the past 10 years, Eric has been performing with guitar master Joshua Perahia (Joshua, Mpire). During those years, Eric has recorded two albums with Joshua (along with fellow members Joey Rochrich and Jerry Gabriel), both of which have been released world wide and have received great reviews along the way.
The first album, Joshua Perahia's (originally released by Long Island Records under the name "Mpire") "Chapter One" (M&K Sound Entertainment), was produced by Dennis Dehger (Buddy Guy, Miles Davis, Johnny Cash) and Mikey Davis (Kiss, Wasp, Korn). Rock at its best!
The second album, Joshua Perahia's "Something to Say" (M&K Sound Entertainment) was produced by the legendary Keith Olsen (Santana, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, Fleetwood Mac, Scorpions, Whitesnake). Several tracks featured Alex Ligertwood (Santana) on vocals as well as guest performances by keyboardist Rick Baker (Santana) and singer/bassist Jason Scheff (Chicago). A true masterpiece in sound!
After 15 years performing on the Los Angeles music scene, Eric now resides in Dallas, Texas.
Eric is currently available for live performances, recording, and touring.
