Details:
Eric Steffensen is a singer/songwriter performing live from Salt Lake. His voice and acoustic guitar captivate as his lyrics shoot you through a range of emotions. From his comical and laugh out loud songs to his serious heartfelt songs he has been compared to the likes of Cat Stevens, Blues Traveler and Phil Collins. Combining rock, folk, blues and classical Eric creates a sound that is familiar yet unique.

Ericâs lyrical theme provoke listeners to contemplate their own spirituality, self-improvement and mental awareness. Based on Ericâs personal values and philosophies developed while he read tarot in coffee shops his sharply crafted lyrics act as a catalyst between performer and listener. So visual are his lyrics that listeners are compelled to stop and ponder the world from a new perspective.

Eric pours his heart, mind, body, spirit and soul into each of his live performances hoping his audience can take something away from each show to help through their day. Please join us for an opportunity to hear Eric for yourself. Check him out online at http://ericsteffensen.com
