About Me

Hello...welcome to my little slice of Myspace. I'm Eric. I play guitar and sing in a band. We call our band "Rachel's Hippo" ( www.rachelshippo.com )...It's a goofy name. It has no deep, hidden meaning. It has no real significance at all. It's just a goofy name that we figured most people would remember. I also write and record my own original music...but to play regularly in Peoria, ya gotta do the cover band thing. So we do. It's an enjoyable hobby. It makes the weekends fun...and I've met so many great people because of the whole band thing.
I love to laugh...I love to see live music...and there's nothing better than being in a baseball stadium in the summertime.
