from mind blowing live performances and ground breaking music video projects, to his ongoing charitable efforts supporting Autism, Eric always brings an energy and creativity to any project he is involved with.

His live show is a bouillabaisse of influences, ideas, and improvisation.  You’ll hear sounds from Appalachia all the way to Arabia, and from Bombay to Britain.   Great guitarists from Tony Rice to Jimmy Page, Chet Atkins and Duane Allman.  Not to mention Eric’s interpretations of Classic songs played on his Irish Bouzouki that simply have to be seen to be believed.  You never know what song or even what instrument he will play next.

Eric has taken advantage of living in one of the most picturesque and beautiful areas of the USA by creating his ground breaking HIKING JAMS video series.  Featuring some of the most scenic waterfalls and vistas in WNC, Eric has fused live music and improvisation against the breathtaking backdrop of the area’s natural beauty.  His video series was featured in Mountain Express.  More episodes of the series are in production.

Over the past 7 years, Eric has helped raise over 100,000 dollars for Autism.  From supporting the St Gerard House early intervention center in Hendersonville, to putting on Festivals to help the Autism Science Foundation and other organizations, Eric’s passion to help stems from his own experiences raising his daughter with Autism.  He is committed to further educating people and raising awareness about the disorder, in addition to spreading hope through his music to those dealing with it.

Sometimes an artist’s name is right on the money. Having been a frequent traveler through the Carolinas, there is an immediate image conjured up when this moody, haunting version of country-folk starts filling up the room. You can see and feel the influence of the Blue Ridge Mountains on Chris Smith, lead singer-songwriter and core creative force of Carolina bound. The simplicity of the songwriting is refreshing, and they’re incredibly easy to listen to, especially on a lazy weekend afternoon. Smith’s vocals are vulnerable, sweet, and melancholic in their delivery of lyrics steeped in country and folk traditional topics of love, loss, and life experiences. There is nothing groundbreaking in that, just the comfort of knowing this troubadouresque type of performer continues to work in the background while trends fade in and out.”
