GUITARIST ERIC BREWER
AND FRIENDS

About Me

_____________________________________________________
What's up, my name is Eric Brewer. I'm 23 years old and I am a guitarist based out of Fairview, PA, just outside Erie. I like to throw down hot fire. I'll keep the bio brief here. I picked up my first guitar at age 16 and haven't put it down since. While still in high school, I took college courses in music at a local university and played in their classical ensemble. I also took private instruction on the side from local guitar master, Mike Ohm, who shared a wealth of information with me. After finishing high school, I was able to enter Pittsburgh's Duquesne University School of Music with college credits and a nice scholarship already in hand. After hanging out in Pittsburgh for a few years, I returned to my hometown to forge on from here. I'm an avid songwriter as well as performer and guitar teacher.
Aside from my solo work, Eric Brewer & Friends, I play in Erie's long time favorite Funk/Rock/Jazz/Jam/and whatever else you want to call it band, Spooner. I also play in Trev Zeppelin - the best non-tribute band around, and with singer/songwriter Claire Stuczynski, and any number of special projects as they arise. See below on my top friends for their pages and look for upcoming dates on my calender. I was member of the RockErie Awards House Band in August and we eventually will carry on that act as well. Keep an eye out for future appearances by "House Band".
This page is really about the stuff that I write and record on my own, and with whatever musicians I happen to be jamming with at the time, hence the title "and friends". I enjoy playing all styles from rock to classical, jazz and country. My original songs listed here were recorded at Diecaster Studios with audio engineer/sound master Trevor Huster. Also, thanks to the remarkable Doug Welser for his top notch drumming on said recordings. I'm pretty much willing to play anywhere with anyone (with a few exceptions) so if you need a guitarist to throw down some heat rocks, get in touch.
If you're interested in taking music lessons from some the best in town, visit us at World Of Music on West 26th. Street in Erie.
I'm always down for a jam, studio session work and writing new tunes. If you like the music, drop me a comment. Also, view my site at Rockerie.com:
