8:50-9:30 p.m. Eric Braun (blues/ country) http://www.reverbnation.com/ericwbraun
Eric Braun is an up and coming guitarist/singer-songwriter from Southern Alberta. From a very young age Eric was introduced to the music of blues greats such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King, and Albert King, to name a few. The blues had a significant impact on the musical development and vocal talent of Eric who continues to acquaint himself with the music of greats such as Buddy Guy, Freddie King, Robert Johnson, and Eric Clapton. As his guitar playing advanced, Eric found further influence in singer-songwriters such as James Taylor, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot and John Mayer. These singer-songwriters helped Eric refine his own song writing craft developing his skill in elaborate and mature compositions with a gritty, yet smooth blues signature.

Eric is currently in the studio recording and preparing for a release later in the year and subsequent performances. Keep posted to reverbnation for updates for coming performances.
