A new message update from Eric's official site:
Greetings Sardinas faithfuls!
It's been a long time between updates, but this certainly
hasn't been due to lack of activity. After touring for 10 months last year, Eric & the band finally came off the
road in December and began work on "turning the page" for a brand new CD and DVD release. January & February were
dedicated entirely to rehearsing material for the new album.
The guys will be hitting the road again this week for
another European tour. They'll come back to the States in April for three more weeks of album pre-production.
This will be followed in May by a three week U.S. run offestivals and club appearances. And then... recording of the
new album will
begin the last week in May, with approximately one month set aside for recording, mixing, and mastering.
The short time frame, in Eric's words, "Will keep the recording process honest, raw, and fresh." A summer tour in Europe
will follow, along with a full tour of the States in the fall.
That's all for now my friends.
The next installment will have more details on the new record and accompanying DVD. Thank you once again for all of
your support, dedication, and enthusiasm. See you on the road!!!
***The official website will be undergoing a
major overhaul in the near future. For now, check out Eric's new MySpace domain:
