Eric joins Ornament for his third season with the band. Asked to be the "sound guy"' by Chris 3 years ago Eric jumped at the challenge of mixing the band. A longtime fan of classic rock (YES, ELP, QUEEN, KING CRIMSON) Eric fell in love with the music of TSO and the members of this incredibly professional and talented group of musicians. Thank You for allowing me to be a part of Ornament. Ornament is heard live through JBL, Allen & Heath, QSC and other quality sound equipment.
Eric operates New Bedford Pro Audio a regional sound and lighting production company. |
