Eric Gales grew up in a musical family with four brothers, two of them who learned to play the guitar upside down and left-handed in the same fashion that Eric does. Eric released his first record at Age 16 for Elektra records to an amazing response from the media and music fans around the globe. Guitar World Magazine’s Reader’s Poll named Eric as “Best New Talent,” in 1991.

Through the years, it would not be unusual to look out in the audience and see artists like Carlos Santana, Eric Johnson, B. B. King, and Eric Clapton, looking on with interest as Eric took his guitar and worked crowd after crowd into a frenzy. He was signed to a deal with Hendrix family affiliated Nightbird Records and recorded the critically acclaimed “That’s What I Am.” He hit the road, mesmerizing fans around the world with his uncanny connection to his guitar.

More critically acclaimed releases followed, including “Crystal Vision,” “The Psychedelic Underground,” "Relentless," and “Transformation”. A spiritually renewed Eric Gales released “Good For Sumthin’”and the Double Live CD/DVD “A Night on the Sunset Strip.” The deeply personal and introspective works, “Middle of the Road” and “The Bookends” followed.

As both an African-American left-handed guitarist of extraordinary ability and an expressive vocalist, it is natural for people to compare Eric to Hendrix. But Eric has developed a unique hybrid blues/rock sound that also draws upon influences as diverse as Albert King and Frank Gambale. A unique amalgam of styles, Eric Gales stands head and shoulders among other guitarists in his genre.

“One of the best if not the best guitarist in the world today.” -Joe Bonamassa (@JBONAMASSA)
“How Eric Gales isn’t the hugest name in rock guitar is a total mystery” -Dave Navarro (@DaveNavarro)
"And I remember on this last tour me and Myles were on the bus looking up clips and we ran into some Eric Gales clips and we were just like, 'This guy could be the best player on Earth.” - Mark Tremonti
