Big Easy E is the pseudonym for Eric Newman, a songwriter and musician writing in diverse styles. For more info, go to: bigeasye.com
I'm a songwriter and musician originally from New Orleans. The variety of music and culture in that city shaped my musical leanings. So I am interested in a number of genres but my foundation has been the blues, which I studied informally when I was in school in Mississippi. I played in various cover bands and now mainly write and record on my own in my home studio. The studio is on hiatus while I transition to a new home in Ft Lauderdale.

Lyrics
Would I recognize me then Way back in my way back when Those were some mean times those were some lean times I wouldn’t want to do it all again Some are lucky some are not I thank God for everything I’ve got There once was a time when all I had was my soul Now I’ve climbed up out of the hole. I was probably somebody you wouldn’t want to meet Back when I lived on Desperation Street Sometimes I felt incomplete But I always stood on my own two feet I never would believe in defeat Even when I was on Desperation Street Times are much better now I made it through those days somehow But there’s plenty of hard times to go around So I sing this song to you If you need a little truth If I can survive Then so can you I was probably somebody you wouldn’t want to meet Back when I lived on Desperation Street Sometimes I felt incomplete But I always stood on my own two feet I never would believe in defeat Even when I was on Desperation Street
