Influences
Edward Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Gary Hoey, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Nick Nolan, Yngwie Malmsteen, Sabbath, Priest and any guitar heros from the 80's until now!
Performing with many musical groups for over 20 years has made Eric a seasoned player, encompassing every style of music from pop, progressive and instrumental rock, country to most recently even hip-hop!
His name is well recognized in the field and has earned him the respect of many musical colleagues, as well as experienced veterans in the recording industry. His hard work and efforts have landed him on the same bill with recording artists like Quiet Riot, I Mother Earth, Great White, Thornley, Default, High Holy Days, The Trews, Finger Eleven, Sloan, Rides Again and more!
Currently, Eric finds his home onstage and in the studio with the band Finding Core. With one professional studio release behind them, and two new singles released, Finding Core is a group that is attracting attention from fans of groups like Shinedown, 3 Days Grace, Trapt, Nickelback, Theory of a Deadman, Creed and more. Their first single “Loaded Gun” has just been picked up by the action movie “Under Currence” scheduled for mid 2009 release.
With patronage back to his biggest guitar hero, Edward Van Halen, Eric performed for some time in Canada’s largest Van Halen tribute band “5150” which truly showed the music community what he held up his sleeve.
Since his early days as an inspiring teenage rock guitarist, Eric has won numerous guitar wars competitions and has continued to do so even to this day. In the early 90s when the days of guitar shredding were nearing their end, Eric placed in the top 10 for all Canada in the National Guitar Warz competitions. This competition, along with others let the public know that he was determined for success! Major musical instrument manufacturers have jumped behind Eric and the band in support via endorsements, furthering his credibility as a musician. In 2004, Eric became Canada’s first endorsee of the PedalSnake a revolutionary invention from Stage Magic Inc. (http://www.pedalsnake.com).
Recently, the world’s most prestigious guitar manufacturer Paul Reed Smith (P.R.S.) Guitars (http://www.prsguitars.com) brought Eric onboard as an endorsing artist. Not to be outdone there, one of the worlds up and coming 1st round contenders of guitar strings Firewire Strings (http://www.firewirestrings.net) has jumped onboard with Eric with a string endorsement. Long time supporter Dava Picks (http://www.davapick.com) also remains a highly respected team member, and most recently the team at Dot On Shaft Guitars (Barrie) has also added Eric to their roster of endorsing artists.
Today with an aggressive marketing campaign, spearheaded by Manager, Sandra Lee, and Eric, the band has become the Highest Endorsed, Unsigned Act in all of Canada, to Date!
Coming in the near future, will be an insightful and helpful E-book, written by Eric, called “Inside the Endorsement” which will provide true and tested tips, with years of experience, in helping your band achieve endorsements from leading manufacturers. Watch for details!
