| Eric Eagle was born in Nashville, but was quickly transplanted to
Redmond, WA where he started banging on Tupperware containers at age 9,
graduating to a real drum set two years later. He attended the
prestigious jazz studies program at William Patterson College in New
Jersey and has studied with Billy Hart, Rufus Reid, Bill Stewart and
Steve Turre. Not interested in limiting himself to any one particular
style but rather finding the common elements that exist in all his
favorite music, he sought a wide range of musical outlets. He has
performed and recorded with artists ranging from modern jazz musicians
Tom Harrell, Wayne Horvitz and Kenny Kirkland to avant-garde artists
Eyvind Kang and Aiko Shimada to songwriter/rock performers Jesse Sykes
and Ray Davies. Eric also enjoys passing on his passion for music and
drumming to others and has taught privately since 2002. |
