about
Eric Chenaux is a Canadian experimental guitarist and songwriter. He has released a series of solo albums and recorded as Eloïse Decazes & Eric Chenaux. In the 1980s and 1990s, he played with post-punk band Phleg Camp, wrote songs with the guitar duo Lifelikeweeds, played jazz in The Reveries, improvised in The Guayaveras and The Draperies, was a member of swinging jazz quintet Drumheller, played with Michelle McAdorey and with Martin Arnold, wrote jazz standards for the Ryan Driver Quartet, and composed lyrical ballads for The Tristanos.
