His unique rootsy guitar style is layered with inflections of sitar and sarod. This ability to merge scales, and techniques from classical Indian music with slide guitar playing, are down to his continual search for commonality where there is difference. “The fusion happened inside me… what you hear is the sound of my varied experiences. Breaking down musical boundaries comes easy when you’ve spent your life living at the crossroads of different cultures.” Tommy Eric has dedicated many years to playing guitar and bass for other artists, as well as producing their tracks and albums. He has now taken the leap into creating his own music.

Elizabeth & Jameson + Special Guests : Tomorrow Bird

  • South Hill Park Arts Centre (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Hannah Elizabeth and Griff Jameson have joined forces to create an acoustic folk-roots sound which encompasses both their individual musical backgrounds.  Hannah’s influences are firmly planted in traditional folk-roots, whilst in contrast Griff has formed his musical reputation within folk pop/rock genres.  Together, Elizabeth & Jameson arguably offer the best of both backgrounds; this is simplistic, classic song writing at its best - a stripped back harmony-driven sound with acoustic guitar, violin and exquisite vocals.. Plus support from Award Winning duo Tomorrow Bird who are currently promoting their new album Braver Days.
