One-man Jukebox Eric E. to perform at UMC February 23
Eric
E. will perform at the University of Minnesota, Crookston (UMC) on
Wednesday, February 23, 2000 beginning at 11:30 a.m. in Brown Dining Room.
Eric E. received a CO-OP booking at 28 colleges after his first
NACA showcase. The performance is free.
A
concert with Eric is unique because he asks the audience members to create their
own concert play list. Those
in the audience simply yell out any year of the last eight decades, and Eric plays them
a hit song from that year. With
only an acoustical guitar and a clear tenor voice, he performs an amazing
variety of songs – Duke Ellington to Chuck Berry, Charlie Parker to Tom
Petty, Lynyrd Skynard to Pearl Jam.
Eric’s
incredible guitar playing creates an accompaniment that’s unusually full
for a one-man’s show. Add
powerful originals, blues, jazz and lighthearted humor and you have an
unforgettable show. At a
recent college performance the audience was up dancing during 90% of the
show.
The
program is sponsored by the Student Programming and Activities for Campus
Entertainment (SPACE) committee. Disability
accommodations can be made by calling 218-281-8587.
