(From Wikipedia, so it must be true) - Eric Lindell is an American singer-songwriter, born in San Mateo, California, who came to national prominence after relocating to New Orleans.
His recording career began in 1996. Beginning in 2006, he has grown in
popularity from being a local/regional New Orleans-based artist to tour
nationally and internationally. His last three releases have been on
Alligator Records. They are 2006’s Change In The Weather, 2008’s Low on Cash, Rich In Love and 2009’s Gulf Coast Highway.
Eric’s music has been described by USA Today as “pumping soul into
funk, blue and roots-rock.” (April 23, 2009). The Chicago Sun-Times
called Lindell “a tremendous raw talent…with a fully realized musical
vision.” (January 20, 2008). The Los Angeles Daily News says “Lindell
serves up bluesy blue-eyed soul smothered with a big heap of New Orleans
funk…The shuffling interplay of electric guitars, percolating organ and
Creole horns never fails to make you feel like dancing all the way down
Canal Street.” (January 27, 2008)
Eric Lindell will be playing twice in the area this Summer:
