Eric Gales is one of the most exciting blues-rock guitarists from today’s burgeoning scene. Just like his contemporaries such as Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith, who both incidentally produced his most recent album, Eric’s playing is both bang up to date and equally steeped in history, with a sound that is vibrant, energetic and full of life.
Eric was raised in a musical family, starting at the age of four and with both of his elder brothers to teach him. By 15, Eric was signed to Electra records and from that point to this he has released a steady stream of critically acclaimed albums, toured relentlessly, both as a bandleader and also as a member of the Jimi Hendrix tribute, Experience Hendrix, building up a loyal following of fans from all around the world.
