Eric Hutchinson rocks SXSW, Surrge, and Perez Hilton

Posted by hutchead on March 17, 2008

What a day! First stop was Dirty Dog Bar where Eric wrapped up the Surrge.com party. Surrge looks like a cool way to share music, check it out if you have not. Anyway, before the show we talked with Eric’s manager Dave Morris of W. F. Leopold Management Inc. He informed us that Eric had signed with Warner Bros. Records. We also taked with Jenna Baum of Warner Bros.

Then Eric hit the stage with his bassist, Tom Craskey, and his drummer, Mark Biondi. Both have been on the road with Eric for about 8 months now. It was hot and humid, with little to no AC, and Erics voice wasn’t at it’s peak, but he gave it his all, like always.

Setlist= You Don’t Have To Believe Me, Freak Control, Oh!, Food Chain, All Over Now, Rock N Roll, Call Me Back.

We got some good pics, and I will be uploading some songs to YouTube. The video’s were taken on my tiny Kodak M853 so the sound is not great, but I did manage to get close enough that some of our musician readers should be able to make out some guitar chords. Post them here if you can, we have a lot of people asking.

Then dinner, people watching, and off to the Perez Hilton presents One Night In Austin. Robyn opened up with about 45 minutes of pop goodness. Then Eric played 4 songs. You Don’t Have To Believe Me, Oh!, Rock N Roll, and (I think) Food Chain. The place was packed and it was a good party.

Perez rocked out to the tunes all night. Thanks Perez! More pics in the Pics section.

Eric Hutchinson signs with Warner Brother’s Records

Posted by hutchead on March 16, 2008

We are back from our SXSW weekend with big news for Eric Hutchinson. He has signed a deal with Warner Bros. Records. From what I gathered, the deal is for his Sounds Like This album, and of course some future recordings as well. There was a nice contingent of people from Warner Bros, but I don’t know where they fell on the Food Chain. They did have 1 sound guy and 1 camera guy shooting Eric at both events hutchead.com attended. I can only guess that the video will be used for web purposes.

What does this mean for Eric in the future? He now has one of the big 4 US music labels working to develop and promote his music, his image, and his future. We might hear him on the radio soon, and with the strength of the music on Sounds Like This, one good hit on the radio is all it will take for Eric to take off. I got no clear answers as to whether a new album is in the works, so Warner Bros might want to spend some time promoting Sounds Like This, while they work with Eric on new stuff.

When I talked with Eric in Tulsa in January, he said that he was ‘talking’ with a label, and that he wanted to make sure he kept control over the music he was making. So I think we can all rest assured that they won’t try to turn Eric into the next Justin Timberlake.

Pics, video, and more reports coming up this week!

Congratz Eric!!!

ps… plans are underway to get Eric’s website going.

Here is one for George Michael and Bee Gees. Faith has been heard recently on Eli Stone. Jive Talkin, well, at least I can hear all the words when Eric sings it.

Queen of all Media, Perez Hilton lavished praise on Eric again. Eric is one of the known artists to be playing Perez Hilton’s One Night in Austin. Perez hooked us up with media passes, and we will let you know how it went, hopefully with some cool pics. Show some love for Perez by hitting the link.

Where Were You Yesterday

Posted by hutchead on March 10, 2008

Great ballad here, very classic soulful sound, timeless lyrics. The first time I heard it I thought I had heard it before, but it is an Eric Hutchinson original as far as I can tell.
