Family traditions run deep in Eric’s blood.  The lead guitarist for From The Edge, he started playing at age 9 after watching his father play in bands his entire life.  

 

“My father has been in a band since before I was born, so I grew up into it. I cut my teeth in bars before I even had teeth.” Eric grinned remembering his youth.  His musical sound was influenced highly from his family traditions but other musicians certainly played a role in Eric’s style and sound.

 

When asked, “Who were your biggest influences outside your family,” he replied with a diverse array of artists in multiple genres, “Prince. His work ethics were like none other. Clapton… I mean c’mon!! Glen Campbell, need I say more?

 

When Eric isn’t playing with From The Edge, he falls back on his family traditions and spends time being the best father he can be.
