He performs at many of NYC’s top Jazz clubs and venues including Smalls, The Iridium, The Kitano, The Garage, the 55 Bar, and many more as well as regional and international touring. Eric performs a mix of traditional, straight ahead, bebop and modern Jazz, often featuring his own original compositions. This is in addition to music from The Great American Songbook and more modern Jazz composers.

As an educator, Eric has been teaching music in the NYC public school system since 2006, having designed and implemented curriculum for both elementary and middle school music where he teaches and directs ensembles. He also teaches guitar techniques privately at his home studio.

In 2011, Eric signed with the Ontario based record label Pioneer Jazz Collective (PJC Records) and released his debut album as a leader, Breaking the Ice (2012), as well as a follow up record, The Second Time Around (2013). Both records have received national and international acclaim.
