We sat down with Eric to talk about his upcoming album “Moving Up, Living Down” due out this fall. Produced by Mike Elizondo (Fiona Apple, Eminem, Regina Spektor) and Martin Terefe (James Morrison, Jason Mraz, Train) it is Eric’s followup to “Sounds Like This“.
I just came across some videos of an interview for Star 102.5 in Des Moines. It looks like it’s five parts and has an interview with performances in between. I really like the second half of the interview, Eric talks about having Rock And Roll in the TLC summer commercial, and if he would like for someone else to cover his songs.
We are heading to the Austin show with O.A.R. and hopefully we will have some good pics. House of Blues did not let any cameras in at the Houston show. Eric played 8 songs, all from Sounds Like This. You Don’t Have to Believe Me was the crowd favorite. I thought it was one of his weaker songs in a live setting until he went electric, now it is great! This video is from the last Austin show.
Eric was invited to the set of MLB (thats baseball for all of you non sports types) to talk about stuff other than his music. As a lifelong baseball fan I am sure he had a blast. HERE is part 1. And in part 2 Eric talks about his music and the tour with O.A.R.
Rock N Roll holds at #4 on the AAA charts, sits at #33 on the Hot Adult Top 40, and is down to #18 on Top Heatseekers. The video is at #9 on VH1′s Top 20. VOTE HERE
If you missed it last week, here it is. He plays 4 tunes (You Don’t Have to Believe Me, Food Chain, OK, It’s Alright Wtih Me, and Rock N Roll) and spends a good deal of time chatting.
