Eric Peters Bio:

 

Originally hailing from south Louisiana, Peters’ ability to create unique character sketches is likely birthed out of his consistent touring schedule, meeting scores of people on the road and an active imagination. On stage or off, it doesn’t take long to see that Eric is as genuine as he is down to earth. What you see is what you get. Unafraid to laugh at himself, he also knows when it is time to be quiet. Eric remains a songwriting craftsman at heart and one who humbly acknowledges the honor of playing his songs for those who would graciously lend their ears to him no matter the setting: coffeehouse, theater, quiet sanctuary, or living room.

 

On multiple levels, redemptive themes permeate Eric’s writing. As a body of work should, intentions and interpretations are discovered long after the first impressions fade away. Like a earthen bed of rock, the varying layers continually reveal new discoveries the deeper and harder one looks. Honest, heart-on-the-sleeve moments relate the common human struggle to find hope, worth and place in life. “I trust that my songs are interpretative, not instructional. While instruction can be instantaneous and fleeting, interpretation allows for the factor of time: to heal, time to breathe, time to forgive, time for anger, time for failure, time for success, time to change and time to become. Recurring themes of faith and hope-triggered plotlines are simply an echo of who Eric Peters is, the experiences of his life and his own attempts to bring understanding to his own fallible world. “I am doomed without the strong and tender hand of mercy. I’ve tasted grace in the many instances where I’ve fallen flat on my face. I hope to share that of myself: the tangible and intangible, the noble and despicable, the manageable and the mysterious. As the mining term goes, I too am the detritus finding blessed life inside of life – my own angle of repose.
