Eric Harper

What happens when an American suburban teenage metalhead is thrust into the rigorous classical conservatory world of Portugal? For Eric Harper it resulted in an explosive chemical reaction of craft and creativity, and the development of a style of guitarring almost a genre unto himself. Having achieved impeccable musicianship and craft during his European conservatory training, Eric took on the new challenge of studying film scoring at Berklee School of Music. By the time of his graduation, Eric had found his full stride as composer-singer-songwriter, with a style that evokes a mad but moving medley of The Dave Matthews Band, the Gipsy Kings and Cirque Du Soleil. Eric's live show melds a bravura virtuosity with hilarity and heart-felt storytelling from his times living, learning, and loving deeply in multiple countries and cultures. As anyone who has seen an Eric Harper show can attest, there will be a lot of laughs and tears and dancing. When Eric is not riveting audiences as a singer/songwriter, you will find him working as an Emmy-winning film and TV composer with over 1,900 TV credits to his name.
