Eric Hagen
Based in the Midwest, his well-rooted sound rings with perplexing authenticity, suggesting he illegally phone-tapped into the wellspring at the heart of all timeless classics. Often praised for his powerful voice, he can infuse a modern story with gospel-like depth.
Hagen's music is a heartfelt ode to the timeless dance between joy and sorrow wrapped in the faded splendor of a bygone era. His performances are like vintage postcards, each one a snapshot of a wistful journey through a land where the echoes of heartache linger in the dusty corners of forgotten jukeboxes.
"Accuse Me" is out now. Glide Magazine says: "Moving soul meets twangy bliss on Hagen’s new single, “Accuse Me.” The Southern soul influences are evident from the jump as the artist’s bluesy tones are greeted at the door with soaring vocal runs."
“Americana Lonesome” is out now.
Hagen recently partnered with Young Outlaw Music which is distributed by Virgin Music/Universal Music Group. The re-release of “Accuse Me” is scheduled for August 5th. The full length album “Make Country Sad Again” is scheduled for this fall with new singles soon!
Be on the look out for “Make Country Sad Again” Tour announcements!
