Biography

Bear Grass Records recording artist, Eric Rhame, paints a lyrical, relaxed picture of the elements of his northern Minnesota surroundings: the dark, the cold, the woods, fishing, the sun, the snow, and the working class landscape of a port town. “Eric Rhame’s Long Cold Nights intertwines beautifully, each song as scenic as a drive along Duluth’s Seven Bridges Road, winding its way through forests of pine and birch” - AltCountrytab.ca - December 2006

Eric is currently writing and recording his follow up album to the popular Long Cold Nights. With a scheduled release date in spring of 2008 he is actively performing in the Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin areas to promote his current and future albums.

Eric’s musical interest began at the early age of 13 with the presence of his fathers own guitar music and regional influences such as Greg Brown and Spider John Koerner and songwriter standard bearers Townes Van Zandt and Steve Earle. During his college years in Wisconsin, Eric played music every chance he had with several different musicians, becoming a student of American country, folk and blues.

Eric sings and plays what he knows. His clear, patient approach neither yearning nor needing the modern day production techniques used to make most songs listenable.
