Eric Parker Christensen Singer Guitarist from Ridgefield, CT

Kick your event up a notch with a top-rated performer who provides a step above just a guitar player that sings. Eric combines live vocal and guitar skills with professionally recorded rhythm tracks (not loops or repetitive beats) to deliver a full-band sound. Backed by decades of experience, every performance delivers a dynamic live energy and personality at the perfect volume, but without the cost, space and hassle of a full band. What kind of music? Rock/Folk/Top 40/Blues/Country hits from the 60s to today. From acoustic guitar melodies that set the perfect mood to classic electric guitar hits that will get the party started, I bring it all. My diverse repertoire includes acoustic guitar songs from artists like Jimmy Buffet, Avett Brothers, Jack Johnson, Neil Diamond, Otis Redding, Van Morrison, and Eric Clapton, as well as electric guitar hits from artists like Tom Petty, Billy Joel, Dire Straits, Foo Fighters, Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, and many more! Every show is sure to have something for everyone. Want to rock it up a bit or keep it more laid-back? No problem! Each show can be tailored to fit the venue and the audience. Check out my profile to see a representative song list. Why hire you instead of one of the many other performers? Good question! I am Newer to "The Bash" (hence the lower number of reviews than some of the other performers that have been with "The Bash" for many years) but have over 3 decades of professional experience performing thousands of shows as a solo performer and as singer/lead guitarist with various bands across the nation. I have played venues ranging from backyards and bars to bigger stages as a member of groups that have opened for nationally recognized artists. I also write and record and am currently working on a new album due out the end of 2025. To put it simply, I've had the pleasure of performing and honing my skills over many years for many people in many situations. Sounds great, but what do past clients have to say? Clients have let me know that they are impressed with the professionalism, personality and talent that I bring to every performance (aw shucks), and pleasantly surprised with the friendliness, responsiveness and coordination that I provide before and during the event. They have given me the highest ratings for the sound, the song list and of course the vocal and guitar abilities, and also appreciate the flexibility and ease of the one-man-band approach which delivers a full band sound at the perfect volume and in a small space. But don't take my word for it! Check out the customer reviews on "The Bash" to see what clients are saying. And check out the photos and videos section to get the sound, look, and feel of my performances. Answers to frequently asked questions…. I have state-of-the-art professional equipment including a Bose line array sound system, which sounds awesome in intimate spaces with just a few dozen guests as well as larger venues of up to 500 partiers. The only thing needed is one standard 120 volt 60 cycle outlet (a common wall plug), and about a 5 Ft X 5 Ft space to perform, and people who like music and having fun. Whether your event takes place inside or out, day or night, I have you covered. I am fully insured and can designate your organization as a certificate holder and name additional insureds as necessary. Cash, checks, money orders, credit cards and electronic payment options such as Venmo accepted. Thanks! Don't miss the chance to elevate your event with a fun, dynamic one-man band performance. Contact me to discuss your event needs and secure an unforgettable musical experience for your guests. Whether you're planning a private celebration, or you are a professional talent manager for an established venue, let's make your next event one to remember. Hope to hear from you!!
