Eric Lindell Band in coming to town...


(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:
