   About Salesman

STROKING:

Salesman's sound is cinematic and lyrical; D.fry could sing nonsense and I'd still enjoy it. The unsettling lyrics, however, complete this record. I find myself repeating "2nd Time," an eerie, redemptive lullaby... When he creaks out the words "no one's gonna fuck you around," the f-word feels dirty again.

-C. Benz, the Alaskan

"Fry shows that he knows how to create a mood with just a few carefully chosen elements... as a songwriter, he could be dangerous."

-Greg Kot, Chicago Public Radio and the Chicago Tribune

"Moody and mesmerizing sound drenched in harmonies..."

-Austinsound.net

under the stars
just gaze and listen..

the silence is loud
as the moon light
glistens

you feel the peace
hear a whisper
not the wind
your intuition..

you feel the goodness
deep down your soul..

God gave you the stars
to rock and roll

so every night
under one bright
star
say a blessing
be thankful
who you are.

Come on over and get turned on to the uber divine acoustic sounds of one Eric Bachmann (you know, the long ago former front man for Archers of Loaf? Founding member of Crooked Fingers?).

Genius songwriting savant to be sure. And, he's cute in a grizzly bear sort of way.
