Eric is the Winner of the International Blues Challenge as well as the Memphis Cigar Box Guitar Award for the outstanding guitarist in the Solo/Duo Category. He's a three time Champion of the Phoenix Blues Society's Blues Showdown, a two time Finalist at the Telluride Blues Challenge. He's a Winner of the Stefan George Memorial Songwriting Contest sponsored by the Tucson Folk Festival, Winner of the Peoples' Choice Award at the Wildflower Arts and Music Festival, a Finalist in the Al Johnson Songwriting Competition, and has been tapped for the prestigious Songwriter's Showcase produced by Tempe Center for the Arts, filmed for PBS distribution. He's been a 4x featured performer at the Dripping Springs (TX) Songwriter's Festival, has garnered numerous accolades for his songwriting, and performs at concerts and festivals nationwide.
Eric is a perennial favorite on the Folk and Blues Festival circuits, not only for his dynamic, engaging performances but for his open tuning and slide guitar workshops as well. With soaring vocals and organic arrangements, Eric's original compositions reflect his musical influences, but come from a place all their own. He writes from experience about the human condition - stark, at times sensitive, at times humorous, always thought-provoking. His arrangements and delivery encompass a spectrum of styles, from delicate fingerpicking to raucous, bluesy bottleneck slide.
Eric lives in the Phoenix area with his patient, long-suffering wife, three kids, and four dogs of indeterminate pedigree. He can often be found in the garage, where his family prefer he practice. Especially the banjo.
Robby Roberson sings original musical stories full of reality and imagination, happiness and sorrow – delivered through multiple stringed instruments, played skillfully and passionately. Robby’s songwriting and his vocal style are like that of an organic urban acoustic music vibe that is enhanced by dynamic rhythms and grooves. He uses the instrumentation as an equal, interconnected partner of his songs and not just for melodic accompaniment. His songwriting has not gone unnoticed across the valley and state – he is the winner of the Songwriter Contest at the Tucson Folk Festival and a finalist in the band contest at the Pickin in the Pines Music Festival. He has also performed at the Tempe Center for the Arts Songwriters Showcases III and VII, and Scottsdale Center for the Arts. Robby’s musical versatility makes it possible for him to be a solo act or to include other talented musician friends in various collaborative settings. Robby lives in Tempe, Arizona and performs regularly at various venues, festivals, and benefits throughout Arizona.
