Eric Sommer in Pittsboro at Come Out and Play 2024!

This is Eric Sommer working his brand of acoustic magic… It’s a mix of a few songs by his favorite artists and a collection of  songs – all original – he has arranged and developed! This is Eric Sommer in Pittsboro,  appearing at “Come Out And Play 2024” and doing what he does so well!

Not only is this a wonderful opportunity to hear Eric Sommer in his element, but remember that behind this amazing solo troubadour sits a significant body of work. He fronts the best Rhythm Section in the area “Eric Sommer and The Fabulous Piedmonts”, a trio that can turn “goat piss into gasoline”, to borrow a quote from Duck Dunn, and his solo set is a master class on finger style playing that incorporates lap slap and some hair-raising feedback and  sonic gymnastics!
