Description: Eric Boff is a rare breed in the world of music. Just after turning twenty, he already knows the history and evolution of popular music since the early 1950s. He has also studied guitar for five years, focusing mainly on blues and rock. Erics almost encyclopedic knowledge of music history is a great advantage. By knowing where other musicians have been, he has a clearer idea of where he wants to go and how to incorporate what has already been done. Starting out as a solo artist he has a high ceiling with his seemingly effortless work on the guitar and his ability to play with the crowd. An excellent product with room to expand to many generations of listeners.

They cover many of the later hits as well.What brought them together was the music. What keeps them going is the smile on the faces of Beatle fans everwhere. “And with a love like that, you know you should be glad”. Yellow Submarines... they’re guaranteed to raise a smile.

BLIND SHAME Popular

Description: BLIND SHAME is a young, High-Energy Modern-Rock band based in the Detroit area. Formed in 1996, and having been playing shows constantly since 1999, BLIND SHAME is a versatile band- able to play fully electric shows, stripped-down acoustic shows, or anything in between. Comparisons to Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox 20, U2, & Jimmy Eat World would only be partially accurate, as BLIND SHAME has created their own unique sound appealing to the dedicated indie-band listener as well as the casual concert-goer. Their female drummer creates the backbone of their sound by painting an energetic, upbeat landscape for which the guitarists can lay down an incredible, edgy sonic wall and confidently lead through catchy hooks and changes. But it doesn't stop there! Blind Shame's cleverly written songs pump energy in every fiber of your bean, warm your heart, or tickle your funny bone, easily avoiding the pretentious paths common with a lot of bands today. Every song is carefully crafted and crackles with energy during any live performance. With 100+ shows under their belts in the last 18 months alone, including an opening slot for veteran rockers INXS in June 2002, they're sure to entertain even the discerning listener. Winning over crowds with a performance that is not only great to listen to, but also fun to watch, Blind Shame leaves the fans always wanting more and coming back again and again. Without a doubt, their allegiance of fans is here to stay........and so is the band! So, go and check out their live show, you won’t be disappointed! Long live great music!!!
