Eric Rice

Eric Rice has been known in the Northwest blues and rock scene performing live on many stages. When he was old enough to get into the clubs he burst in like a Pit-Bull sniffin' for blood. Insisting on finding the jam sessions and kicking down the doors, he made his way into the Spokane Blues scene. He soon started opening for many national blues and rock acts and taking his show to the festivals, Eric has the experience and confidence to deliver a hard hitting performance. His attack on the guitar and the stories he tells with conviction and wisdom are as honest as the voice he uses to deliver his message. The ownership of tunes written by his influences is amazing. Eric can take a tune we have enjoyed for a lifetime and breathe his own life experiences to give a classic song a new existence. He continued his career as  he forged his way into the Seattle Blues scene where he is today.

Joined with the best musicians the Seattle music scene has to offer, his show will always have a quality that is hard to beat. The partnership with Scotty Harris on bass and Andrew Cloutier on drums is a language that has been developing for all the years they have spent together. Improvisation is effortless with these three as their time together makes the musical conversations between them only found in the moment.

The album “Devil’s Nursery” is packed with the hard driving groove and wit you would expect to hear from Eric. The story now continues with their latest album "Stuck Inside". Written and produced during the pandemic the title cut gives us a view of the shutdown from an optimistic angle. It's a funny story about remodeling the house and having a "private" party at home. Other thought provoking stories such as "Big Talker" expresses the disgust for the political circus at the end of that decade while "Girl Needs to be Told" is a love story about treating people with love and dignity.
