If you like songs from Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, and Bruce Springsteen, You would love this New Jersey-based Americana singer-songwriter, Eric Harrison


About Eric Harrison:

Attorney by day, musician by night, Eric Harrison is a New Jersey-based Americana singer-songwriter, a proud suburban dad and lifelong fan of the New York Yankees, whose work has earned comparisons to artists like Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. His song - ‘Opening Day’ has been an annual spring training staple on the New York Yankees’ official broadcast network, and gained attention in 2021 for his song ‘A Jersey-Sized Disgrace’.


About 'Bittersweet':

This 12-track album sees Eric honouring musical and philosophical frameworks of Cole Porter, Bob Dylan and others, while confronting his arguments with desire, deprivation and acceptance to provide nostalgia-fueled commentary of life, love AND New Jersey.





What I thought about the album:

There are songs that have very up-beat vibes, while some have very slow-yet-grooving vibes. The instrumentals and lyrics help and give the listeners a visual on what the meaning behind the song is.
