Erik kicked off his musical journey in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas 🎶. After a wild ride of loud, eclectic years, he eventually made his way to Los Angeles 🌴, where he rekindled his passion for the rootsy soul of Americana and Country music 🤠.
He co-founded the band Fairbanks & the Lonesome Light 🌌, earning some well-deserved attention and releasing two stellar albums 📀📀. But the call of home was strong, and Erik returned to the heart of Texas ❤️, settling in the charming Hill Country town of Driftwood 🌄.
These days, you'll find him writing, recording, and performing solo — his sets filled with fresh new songs 🎤, all while tipping his hat 🎩 to the timeless sounds of classic Texas country.
