Eric Rhodes Band

Fretless Blues

About Me

Born out of rock 'n' roll and metal, Eric Rhodes Band is a three-piece powerhouse of blues and roots-rock music featuring the ever so rare Fretless Guitar!! They're not afraid to turn the blues on it's ear and give it a facelift, pulling out all their influences from punk, soul, country and jazz. For more bios and info, dial in their website at www.ericrhodesband.com and for more previews of their debut CD which should drop sometime before one of us is dead! THANKS!!!
