Eric Parker Christensen Acoustic Guitarist from Ridgefield, CT

Hello! If you are looking for a one man band, or considering a solo vocalist/acoustic guitar player but interested in adding some extra flair, you’ve come to the right place. I combine my own live vocal and guitar skills with professionally recorded rhythm tracks to deliver a full-band sound without the cost, space and hassle of a band. But unlike recorded music, it delivers the live energy that will keep your guests engaged and entertained all night long. It's the best of both worlds! From acoustic guitar melodies that set the perfect mood to classic electric guitar hits that will get the party started, I bring it all. My diverse repertoire includes acoustic guitar songs from artists like Jimmy Buffet, Jack Johnson, Neil Diamond, Otis Redding, Van Morrison, and Eric Clapton, as well as electric guitar hits from artists like Tom Petty, Billy Joel, Dire Straits, Foo Fighters, Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, and many more! Every show is sure to have something for everyone. I am Newer to "The Bash" but have over 3 decades of professional experience as a solo performer and as singer/lead guitarist with various bands. I have played venues ranging from backyards and bars to bigger stages as a member of groups that have opened for nationally recognized artists. I also write and record and am currently working on a new album. Clients have let me know that they are pleasantly surprised with the friendliness, responsiveness and coordination that I provide before and during the event, and the professionalism, personality and talent that I bring to every performance (aw shucks). They also appreciate the flexibility and ease of the one-man-band approach that delivers a full band sound at the perfect volume and in a small space. But don't take my word for it! Check out the customer reviews on "The Bash" to see what clients are saying. And check out the photos and videos section to get the sound, look, and feel of my performances. Keep in mind that the videos/audio were recorded in a rehearsal space for client privacy considerations, and to avoid background noise. But they are not doctored studio versions. They were recorded 'live', directly from the same stage equipment with the same backing tracks used for live performances. That means that what you see and hear on the videos is what you will get at your event. I use only the highest quality professional equipment, which sounds awesome in intimate spaces with just a few dozen guests as well as larger venues of up to 500 partiers. And whether your event takes place inside or out, day or night, I have you covered. For those corporate events (or any event, for that matter!) that require it, I am insured and can designate your organization as a certificate holder and name additional insureds, as necessary. Cash, checks, money order, credit cards and electronic payment options such as Venmo accepted. Don't miss the chance to elevate your event with a fun, dynamic one-man band performance. Contact me to discuss your event needs and secure an unforgettable musical experience for your guests. Whether you're planning a private celebration, or you are a professional talent manager for an established venue, let's make your next event one to remember. Hope to hear from you!!
