Welcome, my name is Eric Auckerman.

As is no secret, music enriches us. It offers comfort, insight, and personal awakenings while helping us experience our lives with mood and texture. It decorates our imaginations and gives dimension to our existence. When experienced on a personal level - which it typically is - music cannot hide it’s humanness. Consider the blues with it’s lamentations of loss, regret or human exploitation. Or the thunder of a rock n’ roll band that satisfies with it’s driving beat and visceral delivery, or, maybe a simple folk song ala Woody Guthrie or Pete Seeger?

The range of emotions that travel with music may account for it’s universality? Why are we so passionate about it? How is it we can’t seem to live without it no matter the form? Doesn’t really matter, we just know it makes our lives a little better.

In today’s acoustic music pantheon we’re fortunate to have the breadth and depth of artists who take their craft especially serious. From the blues stylizations of Eric Bibb or Kelly Joe Phelps (where are you Mr. Phelps?), or to the heartfelt song craft of Ruthie Foster, Mary Gauthier, Gretchen Peters and others, we’re blessed to live in an age with so much talent and whose spectrum covers Americana, acoustic blues, fiddle tunes, Celtic and so on.

As a song writer, my aim and sincere desire is to write songs that merits your time and furthers your musical journey.

All the best, Eric.
