Best known as the lead guitarist for the Neal Morse Band, Eric is an astonishingly gifted composer/musician/singer. At NMB concerts, it is Eric that will leave the most people buzzing about his insane ability on ALL the instruments! In the winter of 2015, the NMB released their highly acclaimed album, “The Grand Experiment” and toured the U.S. and Europe. Eric has gained tons of exposure with this record and has proven to be one of the most exciting new virtuosos in the progressive rock scene. Eric began playing the piano at the age of four and picked up the guitar when he was twelve. Along the way he learned to play everything so well that he could effectively audition for the NMB on 3 instruments! In 2013, Eric was named one of the “Top 7 Guitarists in the Nation” after advancing to the finals in the Guitar Center competition “Guitarmageddon”. Some of his early influences include, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Eric Johnson, Andy Timmons, and Metallica. After studying commercial music and recording technology in college Eric began his career in music. Since then Eric has toured all over the world and continues to do so. At the age of 31 he has already been able to work with some of the biggest names in the industry and he is just getting started. When Eric isn't on the road, he is in his studio writing and recording new music, working on other artists projects or composing a movie score.
