Eric Sommer at The Cave — Sunday, June 7

What does a few decades on the road with the likes of John Hammond Jr., Little Feat, John Mayall, and The Pretenders actually sound like?

Come find out. Sunday, June 7

Eric Sommer shows up with a well-worn Telecaster, a head full of stories, and the kind of stage presence you don’t fake—you earn it somewhere between dive bars, long drives, and late nights that turn into songs. It’s equal parts sharp wit, deep cuts, and moments that sneak up on you.

This isn’t background music. It’s a room you step into.

Expect a mix of acoustic and electric sets—loose, alive, and full of turns you won’t see coming. Somewhere between a front-porch confession and a backroom jam, the night unfolds the way the best ones do: naturally.

And there’s no better place for it than The Cave—low ceiling, close crowd, and just enough edge to make everything feel a little more real.

Sunday, June 7 • Chapel Hill, NC

One night. One room. No filler.

Here’s what Midwest Record had to say:

“This multi-instrumentalist could easily be a superstar in his own right… an underground treat with the chops, songs, and personality to match.”

This will be a solo show—though with history like this, you never quite know what might happen.

Pull up a chair. Grab a drink. Stay a while.

Or don’t—but you’ll probably hear about it later.

Open Tunings, and so much more

With open tunings, 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…!
