Eric Ramsey

You can expect from me a professional performance. I have good audience interaction, and I am personable, punctual and pleasant. I will dress appropriately for the venue/occasion/event. I can provide my own professional quality sound reinforcement if necessary. I can play an evening of original material, an evening of covers (requests gladly taken in either case) or a combination of the two. I play multiple instruments and usually bring at least two guitars.

Eric is two time champion of the Phoenix Blues Society's Blues Showdown and has performed in Memphis, TN at the International Blues Challenge, where he was a semi-finalist. He has been a Finalist in the Tucson Folk Festival's Songwriting Contest, and has been tapped for the prestigious Songwriter's Showcase produced by Tempe Center for the Arts, filmed for PBS distribution. He's a regularly featured performer at the Prescott Center for the Arts, and has headlined shows at the Highlands Center and the Flagstaff Folk Project in Arizona.

He has been a Featured Performer at the Dripping Springs Songwriter's Festival near Austin, and plays and tours regionally.

He is a favorite of the folk and blues festival circuits not only for his dynamic and entertaining performances but also for his open tuning and slide guitar workshops.

I can provide lighting and sound for my show if necessary. I typically would like a space no smaller than 10'x10', but am very adaptable and amenable to the vagaries of the particular venue/site.
