about
Eric O’Connell is an American acoustic folk musician based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. O’Connell began studying and playing classical guitar at the age of eight. He studied with teachers in the Twin Cities and San Francisco, and performed in various venues. In his early twenties (1982 or so), Eric’s music took a new turn. He bought a Gurian, steel-string guitar and began experimenting with flat picking, bluegrass, and folk. He performed with his friend, Paul Cofell, in central Minnesota. Soon after, he was inspired to try writing in earnest. He now considers his early work “a bit rough.” In 2008, Eric O'Connell and his daughter, Courtney Carlson, released their CD, "If Love is What You Do." Other bandmembers include Stephanie Johnson Carlson (harmonica, hand drum, vocals), and Amy Carlson (vocals). www.ericjoconnell.com User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
