Influences
Here are a few of many...Buddy Holly, Bruce Springsteen, Cat Stevens, Elvis, Neil Diamond, Jim Croce, and The Beatles.
Brooklyn born singer/songwriter Eric Stuart has toured the country either on his own or with such rock legends
as Peter Frampton, Ringo Starr, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. He's also opened for such acts as Jethro Tull, Julian Cope, Hall and
Oates, and Chicago.
His first full-length album, Curiosity, was released in 1996 on his own independent label, Widow's Peak Records, and was soon followed up in 1997 with Picture Perfect World (EP).
In the summer of 1997, Eric's classic rock & roll style was noticed by Ringo
Starr who invited him to open The Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band Tour, featuring Peter Frampton, Jack Bruce (Cream), Gary Brooker (Procul Harum), and Simon Kirke (Bad Company). That exposure served as a springboard for Eric to open for the
Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Paul Rodgers Tour that same summer.
Since then, Eric Stuart
has been touring on a regular basis including two U.S. tours with Peter Frampton.
In 2000 Frampton later produced Eric's
next album, Blue, Dressed In Black along with John Regan and Harvey Jay Goldberg.
Eric's songwriting talents have given him
the opportunity to begin co-writing with some of Nashville's finest songwriters. He looks forward to many more artistic collaborations
in the future. Co-writing is a very interesting journey. Says Eric, "To bare one's creative soul with another is a very vulnerable thing but when
there is mutual trust and creative energy in that room it can be an almost spiritual trip."
In 2004 Eric released the
self-produced independent album Bombshellshocked on RevUp Records. In 2007, he released his latest album entitled
In The County Of Kings on Widow's Peak Records. Order your copy today at ericstuart.com.
Eric Stuart Band has just released the new CD 'Empty Frame Of Reference' 5/1/2009.

"I always make it a point to go out front and check out the opening act when I'm on tour, and never have I seen such sincere appreciation for an unknown act. Usually the openers get polite applause, but Eric was always received...exuberantly. That happened every show and it never ceased to amaze me." John Regan (Bass player with Peter Frampton)
