A self-described hard working, Southern Baptist, Eric Durrance is a multi-talented, self-taught musician and soulful vocalist with moxie. The Tallahassee native (who divides his time between his farm in Florida and Nashville) is a well-rounded singer/songwriter who attributes his personal character and allure toward country music to his family and southern upbringing.

"I learned to play a little bit of everything. My stepfather was a drummer, guitarist, piano player and one heck of a singer, and my mom and grandfather taught me to sing harmony," Eric introduces. "My grandparents, who have been married for 53 years, are my <#8216;oak tree;<#8217; they<#8217;re strong and faithful individuals who taught me to be honest and follow my heart and they just love George Jones! So, I<#8217;m at home in Country."

Having gravitated toward the harmonious sound of The Eagles and the group<#8217;s song craftsmanship, Eric developed a genuine admiration and respect for some of country music<#8217;s legendary tunesmiths--Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, to name a few. Eric identifies with the simplicity of the songs written by these voices of country.

"I write music that comes from my heart. I like to write music that puts body and soul out there and has a magical way of saying what everyone feels. I like to be real and I believe a good, honest song is the key to an artist<#8217;s success."

A modern-day musical Romeo, Eric has an edge that guys can appreciate and a voice and lyrics that make gals wax and wane. With his boyish charm and a subtle honey-coated twang, Eric achieves just the right balance of rebellion and southern gentility. He reveals a country refinement as he shares honest messages of love, loss, hope and inspiration. His passionate delivery is a throwback to a sweeter time when country music was "simply" a musical story.

Eric brings a breath of fresh air to the genre. From the touching ballad "Angels Fly Away," and the piano-laced progression of "Life Is Hard," to the driving rhythm and today<#8217;s day-in-age lyrics of "Turn It Off," Eric<#8217;s music will stir emotions in one moment and inspire rhapsody the next.
