If you like fun rock and roll music that causes you to dance and sing then you definitely should check out Eric Hutchinson. The 31 year old from Washington DC has been influenced by other singer/songwriters such as Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Paul Simon, Prince, and the Beatles. His music style is rock, pop, and folk. It has been called intelligent pop with a feel good vibe.

Eric’s songs have been featured on many TV shows such as Grey’s Anatomy and he has performed on Jimmy Kimmel, Conan O’Brien, Jay Leno, and Craig Furguson. Hutchinson has also been named an AOL About To Pop artist, Yahoo! Who’s Next Artist, MSN One To Watch Artist and a VH1 You Oughta Know Artist. Hutchinson recorded a theme song for ESPN’s popular Fantasy Focus podcast.

I had the pleasure of seeing Eric for the second time this past Saturday. He played songs from his latest cd, Moving Up and Living Down as well as songs from Sounds Like This. No matter what the song Eric had the crowd’s attention with his fun and upbeat music. He has a great stage presence. At one point he even serenaded a young lady in the crowd who skipped her senior prom for the concert. Eric is a great artist and I think his music would be a fantastic addition to any outdoor activity this summer. Check out www.erichutchinson.com and follow him on Twitter @EricHutchinson.

I Am a Troublemaker!

March 27, 2012

This past weekend, my daughter and I headed to Beachland Ballroom to check out one of my favorite artists, Van Hunt. Initially, my plan was to write this post about Van’s live show, though I was a bit reticent because I’ve written about him recently. I was very pleasantly surprised, however, when inspiration struck in [...]

This Wub’s for You!

March 2, 2012

I’ve been meaning to write a post about Dubstep for a long time, and I have to confess it’s all my daughter’s fault. Many a day, I have come home to an impromptu dance party; my windows shaking, housequaking, and bass pumping deep in my chest. I fought the pull of the music for a [...]

In Memoriam: Amy Winehouse

December 31, 2011

We lost a lot of great performers this year: from Nick Ashford, whose music and influence will surely be eternal to Heavy D, a pioneer in “feel good” Hip Hop. I don’t think many people would argue that the passing of Amy Winehouse was a pretty huge deal. Yes, we all knew it was a [...]
