Eric John Kaiser

2006 and has been putting his unique stamp on the Portland, OR music scene ever since. It is his way to connect with people’s souls – shared experiences about humanity. The need to evolve and grow as an artist has led Eric to travel extensively, soaking up the cultures and stories of the people he meets. Eric has logged close to 10,000 miles each year since moving to Portland and his trips have taken him all the way from the Pacific Northwest to New Orleans to The Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC. His journeys are a striking parallel to the early American pioneers and settlers that left what they knew behind them and sought a new life. It wasn’t a covered wagon or a ship, but Eric has the same sense of wonder whether driving his trusty Subaru under the wide Montana sky or riding the subway under the New York City canyons. His music has logged as many miles and picked up accents from across the American landscape. His latest songs resonate with a very American rhythm, like bouncing across the vast plains on horseback... You can hear some western lap steel guitar or dirty roadhouse blues mixed in with his traditional French stylings – a Parisian Americana, if you will.
