Be sure to check out Part 1 and Part 2 of this 3 Part series on songwriting.
Eric Harper destroys guitars. No, I don’t mean that in a ‘Jimi Hendrix – light it on fire and watch it burn’ sort of way, nor do I mean it in a ‘Kurt Cobain – Swing the guitar like an axe into the drum set’ kind of way either… Eric destroys guitars with his fingers. Literally. One look at his instruments makes you feel sorry for them… while simultaneously sparking a curiosity as to what kind of music leaves sawdust in it’s wake. Eric’s musical weapon of choice is Flamenco.. and he wields it well.
His guitar playing and producing has graced several Baha’i albums that we love, and when we saw he was posting songs almost daily onto his ReverbNation page, we had to check it out. The songs are eclectic, as you would expect from someone who’s influences run from Heavy Metal to Flamenco. Some of his songs have lyrics, but many don’t. Eric doesn’t constrain his writing approach by requiring lyrics. His focus is to create a singularly massive music library for licensing to film and television. With the catalog of songs he has been developing as well as the songs he already has being placed, Eric is headed towards success. Sit back and enjoy our interview with Eric Harper and his song-a-day experience.
