Eric Sommer at Sutherland Arts Festival • August 18 • 1:50PM

Eric Sommer appearing at The Sutherland Arts Festival

Join us for our 3rd Annual “The Arts at Sutherland” event held on the beautiful grounds of The Sutherland Gardens and Estate. We are hoping to enrich the lives of our patrons with music, food, beverages and of course amazing artwork. With this juried fine art show we want to bring fine artwork to Wake Forest, one of the fastest growing cities in North Carolina. We are looking forward to having you join us for this weekend of beauty and community!

This is Eric Sommer working his brand of acoustic magic… It’s a mix of a few songs by our favorite artists and a collection of  songs – all original – he has arranged and developed!

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

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.
