Brought up in a musically supportive environment, blues and rock artist Eric Gales started his career at an early age, and he released his first of two albums at age 16 with Elektra Records. His influences for both his instrumental and guitar work include industry icons such as Albert King and Frank Gambale. In 1991, Guitar World’s Readers Poll named Eric as “Best New Talent.” After several years in the band The Gales Bros’, which Eric formed with his brothers, Gales embarked on a solo career and hit the road, becoming known for his mesmerizing guitar work. After countless tours and 11 records, Gales has made his way to Athens. Craig Waters and The Flood will open.
