    !!!!ECHT NIET MISSEN!!!!:

    Music has shaped Eric’s life since the day he was born. As a cranky infant he was soothed to sleep by the early
    90s sounds of Country Music Television. As he learned to walk his first steps were to the cassette player where
    his personal favorites were The Allman Brothers and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Childhood piano lessons soon turned into
    Blues jams and before long he picked up his first fender Stratocaster. There was no looking back…..


    After sitting in with some of the finest performers in his Pennsylvania hometown, Eric's passion for the Blues enabled him
    to soon share the stage with many nationally known artists including Bob Margolin, Debbie Davies, James Armstrong,
    Steve Guyger, Kenny Neal, Chris Beard, Tommy Castro, Joe Kubek, Bnois King, Solomon Burke, Ronnie Baker Brooks and Hubert Sumlin.


    With a feeling and natural ability that could not be explained for someone so young, Eric delivered a Freddie-BB-Albert King
    influenced performance with an intensity and skill that belied his youth.


    The Eric Steckel Band's debut CD, "A Few Degrees Warmer", was recorded live in April 2002 when Eric was a mere
    11 years old. A Few Degrees quickly became a CD Baby Top Blues Seller and the record continues to delight Blues Guitar fans across the globe.


    In November of 2003 the "ESB" appeared at the Sarasota Blues Festival where Eric’s powerful set and cameo
    appearances became the talk of the day. Before the night was over Eric was introduced by John Mayall
    as the youngest person ever on stage with the Bluesbreakers.


    Eric left a lasting impression on Mayall and in the Summer of 2004, Eric appeared in Sweden,
    Norway and Denmark as a special guest with John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers during their Scandinavian Tour.
    In early 2005 Eric traveled to Los Angeles where he joined Mayall for session work on the Bluesbreaker's "Road Dogs" record.


    The ESB developed their own faithful following through years of club gigs and festival appearances
    including opening sets in support of Marcia Ball, Tommy Castro, Shemekia Copeland and B.B. King.


    The band released a studio record titled "High Action" in 2004 and traveled to Holland and
    Belgium in 2005 for a 10 concert tour promoted by Rounder-Europe and King Bee Music.


    After relocating to Jacksonville, Florida, Eric was introduced to Duane Trucks who joined the band in
    late 2005 on drums. Music fans may immediately recognize Duane as Derek's younger brother and the nephew of Butch Trucks.


    In celebration of Duane's arrival, the ESB released their third record, "Havana". Deeply rooted in the Blues,
    this live recording recalled the sound of the 60s and 70s Blues Rock era.


    In support of the European release of "Live at Havana" through Rounder-Europe, the ESB returned to Holland in 2006
    where they had the honor to open for Johnny Winter at The Paradiso in Amsterdam and appeared at the Tegelen Blues Rock Festival.


    The Summer of 2007 marked another milestone for Eric as the band played several prominent American music
    festivals and earned rave reviews and new fans during tours in Holland, Germany, Belgium and Italy, including
    a prime time performance at the legendary Pistoia Blues Festival where he opened in prime time for John Mayall and Gregg Allman.


    Eric greeted 2008 by emerging from the recording studio with a host of new songs and an
    all new record titled “Feels Like Home”. Supported by solid session performances from Duane Trucks on Drums
    and Mike Esposito on Bass Guitar, “Feels Like Home” marks another stunning achievement for Eric as the
    one-time teen Blues phenom is now a matured guitarist who combines his Bluesy feel with eclectic influences
    and modern songwriting. “Feels Like Home” is on sale beginning March 2008.


    In support of “Feels Like Home” Eric has teamed up with one of his original influences and early
    mentor Craig Thatcher to develop a new road band, “Eric Steckel and CTB”.


    The Craig Thatcher Band has a well-earned reputation for blending classic rock and blues with a
    joy of playing that’s up front and bold. With their own worldwide recognition and a slew of music awards
    the CTB is recognized by many as one of the best bands on the East Coast.


    Eric Steckel and CTB is a must-see-live performing band.
    A smile on just one face, it feels like home………
    Eric has performed live on-air on WDIY and WLVR in Bethlehem, PA and has been featured in
    The Allentown (PA) Morning Call, The Doylestown (PA) Intelligencer, The Philadelphia Inquirer,
    The (NY) Times-Herald Record, Music Head Magazine, The Warren (NJ) Reporter Forum, Guitar World Magazine,
    The Easton (PA) Express, The Bridgewater (NJ) Courier Times, The Sarasota (FL) Herald-Tribune,
    the Lancaster (PA) Sunday News and The Florida Times Union. International press includes 2005 features
    in the Haagshe Courant, De Telegraaph and a 2007 MusikMaker (NL) feature.


    Eric was also featured in a 2002 Comcast CN8 TV News Extra and in 2003 he has appeared on
    NBC 10 in Philadelphia, Comcast CN8, Fox Philadelphia and SNN6 in Sarasota. In 2005 Eric was featured on Reuters TV.

    Ik heb hem ook 1x gezien en vond het super!

    Juist een heerlijk Strat geluid en prima nummers. Eind oktober ga ik weer in de Boerderij, benieuwd hoe hij zich heeft ontwikkeld; hij is immers nog steeds jong.
    Rock on amigos!

    Gisteravond heb ik Eric Steckel gezien in de DRU in Ulft. Ik had nog niet eerder van de jongeman gehoord, maar man wat kan hij spelen zeg. En op de toetsen doet hij het al net zo goed. Zingen kan hij ook nog. Hem ga ik zeker in de gaten houden.
