I am a musician, songwwriter and founder of BumbleFunk Music (http://www.bumblefunk.com) and BumbleBeets (http://www.bumblebeets.com).
My music falls into many categories with a general trend toward jazz, funk, R&B and pop. I have been a musician and songwriter for many years (too many) and continue to hone my craft. I am always interested in working with other artists to create commercial or non-commercial music.
I am also a scientist, inventor, guitar builder, and general nut case (but always with a method to my madness)
I hope you like some of my music!
Peaceout
EricBand/artist history
I was raised in Hollywood CA. I went to Hollywood High School and then to UCLA before moving north to Berkeley for 3 years in the 80s. The point is that as far as I knew in my mid-20s, places like Iowa only existed in books and movies. Then I moved to Iowa and discovered the beauty of the mid-west. I know I am not the first person to figure this out, but the mid-west can be an awesome place with endless fields, rolling hills and pastures, and NO SMOG OR CRIME (ok. some smog and crime, but nothing compared to LA). All said, the years in Iowa have been great for my kids and me.
I have been in many bands over the years and continue to pursue both live playing and writing/recording. Im no Steve Morse or Frank Gambale, but I can play and I am always deepening my skills.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes - Midwest and anywhere else you want!
