| About ERIC NEHER |
|
A Brief Bio---- Eric Neher is a guitarist/vocalist from New York City. His musical style occupies the area that lies between rock, movie soundtracks and song writing. His compositions are dramatic and expansive in nature. Working with gifted producer Martin Bisi, he has just completed the recording of a new CD for which distribution is being sought.
An experienced musician, Eric was a founding member of downtown NYC groups Crash Bureau and The Filthy Five. As such, he performed extensively on the East Coast in Boston, Philadelphia, New Haven, Albany and New York. As a solo artist he has performed on his own and with accompanying band at NYC venues Mercury Lounge, CBGB, CBs Gallery, Don Hills, Luna Lounge, Arlene Grocery and others. Eric has also played solo shows in Australia, has performed live on XM Satellite Radio in the US and has performed with Glenn Branca for his orchestral piece Hallucination City.
On his first full length solo CD, Shame Train released by Treehouse Music, he had the experience to work with such notable musicians as Lance Doss (John Cale guitarist), Don Yellech (Psychedelic Furs Drummer), Lorenza Ponce (Violinist superb who has recorded with Sheryl Crow and Tricky) and Doug Petty (Shawn Colvin keyboardist). Produced by Robert Kirk, the CD featured seven Neher originals and covers of Billy Braggs The Man in the Iron Mask and the Hank Williams classic Ramblin Man. Shame Train garnered excellent reviews sold a modest amount of copies and received a respectable amount of non commercial radio airplay.
Recently Eric brought together a great line-up of musician friends to record in the studio again. The recordings were done at BC Studios by Martin Bisi. Bisi has produced work for Sonic Youth, The Swans, Bill Laswell and many other great artists. (Recently he has produced Dresden Dolls and Serena-Maneesh) Throughout the sessions Eric is accompanied by Billy Loose on drums, Lyris Hung on electric violin, Greg Krinsky on bass, Andrew Potenza on percussion and Ithalia Johnson as a backing vocalist.
