Gotta chance to see this guy Saturday night.

Never seen him myself. But he's always had a great reputation. If you like a lot of guitar solos. You'll like Eric.

Typing from Austin I would say for that price...go
Just be ready for a bunch of guitar and no vox...

Sometimes that's jarring. But damn, $20? I'd go again.

totally not my cup of tea, but for that price - in good company - a show's alright

The ticket is probably going to come out to $28.50 (or so) after the added on fees.

I like what I see here, so I think I'll probably go.
Looks like the last date on the tour. Maybe he'll do something special.

Gotta love the final stop of a tour leg, "they" usually do "leave it all on the field"... and usually they are in great "playing form"... and in a good mood. Have fun.

Great show!

The man sure knows how to make a guitar sing.
Don't know why he doesn't get more exposure.

He started off with four acoustic numbers, then the band joined him for the rest of the show.
Nice mix of original tunes and some very creative covers.
He also touched on a variety of styles, rock, jazz, bluegrass, etc.

Two fifty-minute sets made for a great evening.
Thanks for asking!

Nice, and for a great price too. Thanks for the review. I will watch for him to play locally.

Eric's peak was in 1992. Fantastic guitarist and overall one of the nicest musicians you could meet. However, not sure why tickets were $20.00... It really degrades the artists value...even if ticket sales are soft.
