Shake Hands Eric's Debut album " A Weekend in Another Country" was released in 2008. "I'd like to be a songwriter first above all else really - writing allows me to experiment with styles and focus on the buzz and moment of creating... I learn something new each day with that. There are lots of people who can play and sing much better too - so if you like a song please come and talk to me".During 2009, Shake Hands Eric will play live with "the collabor8ors". A mixed bunch of musicians revolving around the core of Shake Hands Eric, Rob Baylis, John H and Andy Tonkin on the piano. A range of surprise musical guests have been lined up to join these gigs along the way.
