"It's as close as I can possibly imagine to having a calling," says Woodstock musician Eric Erickson of his career as a singer/songwriter. "It's something I can't not do. I've worked as a microbrewer, as a folk broadcaster (a member of the staff of the original, legendary WDST) and as a carpenter, among other things, but I have always wound up back on a stage somewhere, with a guitar in my hands."
The son of a career Army officer, Eric spent much of his childhood at West Point. His teenage years included classical guitar lessons the requisite rock 'n' roll bands. And now, in his mid-forties, Eric finds himself as an emerging artist. "It's an interesting position to be in: I can have a blossoming career and a mid-life crisis at the same time! It gives me a unique perspective and unlimited fodder for songs."
As Eric puts it himself, "It is not my intention to break new ground or to be on the 'cutting edge'. I'm happy to use the tools that have been developed over the past several hundred years of songwriting. I hope each of my songs has the feel of a pair of new shoes that are comfortable from the moment you first put them on. You've worn the style before but never in quite this color."
The list of performers with whom Eric has shared the stage includes Pete Seeger, Livingston Taylor, Suzanne Vega, John Hall, Happy and Artie Traum, acoustic guitar master Adrian Legg, Priscilla Herdman, Rick Danko of the Band, Tom Chapin, Ronnie Gilbert of the Weavers and the British group Fairport Convention. One of Eric's songs was included on the compact disc that accompanies the Fast Folk Musical Magazine. read more.
