Eric Skelton

Some Other City, the debut effort from Georgia born Singer-Songwriter Eric Skelton has gotten off to a great start, selling a few hundred copies in the first month of its completely independent release. Through loyal online communities and Eric's relentless touring schedule, the word about this young artist has spread like wild fire. People are signing on and coming out to see what all the buzz is about. The new disc has also found its way into some pretty important hands. Labels, Managers and Radio are taking notice. Eric is gaining fans all over the South and the North East through radio play and online medians that host his music. Having the album sold online through the exclusive online store, Awarestore.com has helped tremendously in transcending the location barrier. His music is hard to define, but can be summed up in a style similar to Ryan Adams, David Gray or John Mayer. His emotional and provocative lyrics bring tears as well as laughter and will make every listener feel like he is singing about their own life. He speaks in honest and poetic lyrics that challenge the listener to think about his or her own life. Simply put, Eric Skelton sings about what he knows, his life, the life of others and things that happen when people collide. Someone told me he is destined for greatness. "Eric Skelton is a nice guy in the acoustic rock game, but not in a cheap, patronizing way ... Skelton has some guts and fire, but when he sings you cant help but see him for what he is. Heres hoping this nice guy finishes first" - Otis R. Taylor, The State "Eric Skelton is able to create what slips through the grasp of so many young songwriters tender reality. Some Other City and all 11 of its heartfelt tracks grasp listeners hopes and heartaches in such genuine fashion, that if they havent experienced such events yet, theyll wish they had." - Adam ODaniel, The Johnsonian
