About Me

I'm Eric. I'm a Jersey boy recently relocated to Philly, and I actually kinda like it here.

I go to Arcadia University, working on my Masters degree in English, so I can become a bad ass college professor who rides a motorcycle. And maybe fights crime. With a cape. We'll see.

I also take photos for rock bands. Some are famous. Some aren't. If I don't know your band and you don't message me, I'll leave your friend request pending. Forever.

Experience my rock n' roll adventures, touring with bands like Cute Is What We Aim For, David Melillo, Farewell, Forever The Sickest Kids, Foster, Just Surrender, Sleepaway, Socratic, Tourmaline, Upper Class Trash, and more!

Kick start my rock and roll heart @ ericsmithrocks.com

It'll help you understand why Almost Famous and High Fidelity are my two favorite movies of all time.
