Squishy T. Bear is also featured on tracks off my first album.
Influences
I'm influenced by my life, the music to which I listen, the incredible musicians in my community, and girls, girls, girls.
Definitely The Beatles and the British Invasion in its entirety. The Ramones, for sure, in the way I arrange chord progressions. I hope some Ryan Adams and John Mayer comes through in my passion and poetry.
I'm influenced by that feeling I get in the pit of my stomach that tells me that if I don't get these words out, I might carry this weight or I might lose this moment, for the rest of my life.
Sounds Like
that thing you just went through, only set to good music.
Eric Ginsberg was not raised by
wolves. He never wrestled a grizzly bear or saved the world from
imminent destruction. However, he does manage to churn elation and
heartbreak into powerfully relatable, cleverly-worded, crowd-pleasingly
catchy songs.
With his catalog of intermittently upbeat and somber pop/rock songs,
more infectiously catchy than a sailor on shore leave, Eric Ginsberg
has performed at colleges (Rutgers, Quinnipiac, Monmouth, Fairleigh
Dickinson, Brookdale...), Cafe's, Clubs and Bars (NJ, NY, CT, PA, FL,
CA, NC).
When not on tour with his band, The New Originals, Ginsberg can be found in and around his native, NJ (or there abouts), honing his stage show, trying out new material and just generally gigging around.
Ginsberg brings high energy, good times, and his own eclectic brand of
rock, laden with hooks that you'll still be singing in the shower the
next morning.
The Aquarian says, "Prepare to be deceptively lulled with
warm acoustic intros and melodic riffs...Whatever your take, this is one artist
who will do anything but leave you cold or wanting."
The Asbury Park Press writes, "With an atomic persona and a fiercely independent ethic - reminiscent of early Jeff Buckley or Thurston Moore - Ginsberg challenges every notion of what a performer should and shouldn’t be...it's obvious that Eric Ginsberg is destined to hit. Soon."
triCityNews calls Eric Ginsberg "one part Tasmanian Devil
and one part P.T. Barnum. He combines energy with enthusiasm and
creates order out of seeming chaos."
the hub proclaims, "For over two years now, Red Bank area
songwriters have had a patron saint of sorts - musician and songwriter Eric Ginsberg."

Hey! Sorry for the canned comment, but I got a little pitch to make. Saturday March 21 is the first Mothguts show in a real long time. It's an early one, 6pm, but it's Saturday!!! And it's with the Slackers who I will tell you right now are a fun and amazing live band. I think tickets are cheaper if you get 'em here...
nah but check this out; i took my guitar out to the steps of the field infront of my dorm and started playing for some friends and slowly people started gathering around, sitting down in front of me. By the end there was about 40 people there and i sold 15 cds!
Hey Eric! Sorry my stupid friend spilled beer on your on my birthday. and Sorry I missed your bar mitzvah when you were 13. and while I'm at it, sorry for EVER BEING BORN!! (Sorry, a full moon makes me a little sensitive...)
Come shake my tree! I have peaches! FRESH peaches. Okay . . . well, could I pretty, pretty please have the recipe? Talk about a Pavlovian response . . . :)
To this day, I have never had a less-that-to-die-for meal at your house, be it 'gourmet' or Classic American Kiddie Food. mmmmhmmmmm.
