Thanks

Re: Eric Steckel

Seems to have been a while since Eric has been mentioned on the forum, at least since Black Gold was released.
Here's a batch of European tour dates for next Spring; shame he's not giving the UK another crack.

Re: Eric Steckel

This guy absolutely blows my doors off. Thanks to Natasha's videos I have been watching him for a while and he just keeps getting better. Ordering my second album of his shortly.  His tone is different than Joe's but reminds me of a young Joe. Playing his heart out throwing caution to the wind. Incredibly melodic as well. He almost gets into shred territory but then there is this incredible sense of melody that runs through his solos. I absolutely love this kid.

Glad you found him.
One more young man with huge talent that was taken under a veteran wing and given a boost. John Mayall was the one that brought him on the scene after a show they both played at.

Re: Eric Steckel

Eric's new album is now available; not yet on his site though nor CD Baby. Managed to order mine through www.Bear-Family.de.

Heard snatches of a couple of songs on Eric's site; he's really got the hang of the LOUD pedal; love Tennessee.
