Eric Wesley Mobley

Born in Western Kentucky, named after Eric Burton, mamma liked country, daddy liked rock, grandpa pushed jazz, schooled by three of the finest primary and secondary level music educators in the state who insisted on extensive classical knowledge, went to school with a multiple Grammy winning Christian artist Steven Curtis Chapman, heavy metal greaser friends, hippie sister ---- mix it all in a bowl - add various mental defects and character flaws - bake for a long, long, long time - & voila -------I am an extremely prolific writer who works in many genres (music, slam poetry, short story, screenplay, novel, comic book). One day I realized that my work could never be finished sitting in a file closet somewhere. Art requires an audience to be complete. I didn't want to be the guy who died with a mountain of great stuff, never read, seen, appreciated or even hated. So here I am.-------I'm now placing myself out there, and the feedback is a little humbling. People are actually getting my stuff, and that is a strange feeling for a closet artist. I am performing all over Paducah, KY and anywhere else I'm allowed to sit and play for a few minutes. The Novel is in revision. The Poetry book is being printed, the album is in production, and many new ideas are taking hold - Watch out for a series of music festivals in the Paducah area.
