Singer-Songwriter, Folk/Traditional, and Americana | Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts
Online and on the radio, NY See Map |
 Having grown up on the records of Peter, Paul and Mary, Joan Baez and Pete Seeger, and after tenures in the obligatory high school rock ‘n’ roll bands, Eric Erickson embarked on a career as a solo musician. He has plied the byways of the American northeast for several decades, with only his guitar in tow, stopping at coffeehouses, beer gardens and concert halls along the way.
As an original member of the air staff at the legendary WDST-FM in Woodstock, NY, Eric hosted a weekly folk music program, combining recordings from “vintage” performers with those of emerging singer/songwriters. Among his in-studio guests for interviews and live performances were Odetta, Utah Phillips and Priscilla Happy and Artie Traum. He also helmed the overnight shift six nights a week, keeping company with night owls, insomniacs and third-shift workers. That experience yielded one of Eric’s signature songs, “Late Tonight”.
