Eric grew up in the
beach cities of LA and began gigging the LA area
as a Guitarist and Vocalist. As the Guitarist for
"Prozaq" and Vocalist for "Headcheese",
Eric got a taste of LA's live music scene by age
16. He left for Chico to pursue an education in
Music and played guitar for the band, August Clown,
with former bassist Sebastian Ramos. The band had
local success in Chico playing at parties on the
weekends. Due to a "foreseen" short life,
August Clown recorded a 12 song album "Call
it a Day" mostly as a memento of their past
year's work. Little did they know that that album
would become a hit when they headed to Venezuela
to play a few shows in Sebastian's hometown. The
band then dispersed after a summer of shows in Venezuela
capped off with the La Mega Radio Music Festival
and an Live "Unplugged" session on La
Mega Radio.
Upon return to the U.S., Eric - after talks with
Coot, a current member of Mystic Roots, and a few
shows - agreed to join the Mystic Roots along with
Sebastian Ramos (August Clown's bassist).
