In 2013, Eric released his debut solo album ‘Afterthought’ on which he played every instrument. Afterthought is a progressive rock album that showcases Eric’s distinct style, vocals and abilities as a multi-instrumentalist. The record covers a lot of musical ground, from “Lost,” a 22-minute epic to “Above the Sky” a piano and vocal closing track.
