Eric Sommer at CenterFest 2023 • September 16 • 11:45 – 12:15pm

Eric Sommer is playing CenterFest 2023 on September 16!

CenterFest 2023 is a force of nature, a celebration of NC Art, Music and Culture!

All human life forms are welcome, and if you are dragging yourself out of the ozone at 7am, just hang out for a few hours, and Bloody Mary’s, Lemon Drops and various forms of beverages will be available to ease that freight train running thru your head… this is the place to cure that fog from the previous evening, as you make room for the one that’s on it’s way!

This is Eric Sommer… doing a solo set of songs and stories pulled from any number of previous releases,

This is Eric Sommer doing a solo set of songs and stories from any number of revious records and releases! The Fabulous Piedmonts are unable to make this Sunday show, but they are back in action the following week!

Open Tunings, and so much more

With open tuning, slide guitar, lap-slap tone guitar, this show is exciting. And a remarkably aggressive fingering style approach makes watching Eric Sommer so fun and crazy! It’ll make you jump out of your seat and holler for joy! There are very few players who have maintained this authentic American style of guitar and Eric Sommer is one of the very best

Guitarin’ and Singin’ are what Eric Sommer is all about.

Singer/songwriter Eric Sommer is an unbelievable intersection of improbable influences. That and insane experiences channeled into an amazingly diverse catalog. His is a résumé that reads more like a musical adventure novel than a series of career bullet points.
