Eric Adcock 
As one of Louisiana's most rockin' piano pounders, you can count on Eric Adcock to put on an amazing and energetic show. Raised in Lafayette, Louisiana, he credits great blues and boogie-woogie pianists Professor Longhair, Dr. John and Jerry Lee Lewis as sources of inspiration.
Like his friend and bandmate, Roddie Romero, Eric showed a prodigy-like beginning by picking out tunes on the piano naturally at age five - he began formal lessons at five-and-a-half. Before he'd turned the ripe old age of six, however, he was kicked out of piano lessons for showing the other kids the boogie-woogie chops he'd learned on his own!
Passionate about every note he cranks out, Eric's talent and energy behind the keyboard have made him a favorite with fans and music critics alike, as well as one of the most sought after pianists by bands all over Louisiana. His ability to make a Hammond B-3 organ scream is just one of his legendary traits, and he is quick to credit influences from Jimmy Smith to Stanley "Buckwheat" Dural Jr. Eric is also an accomplished songwriter and is one half of the equation behind the creative artistry of the band's original songs. He is often at his piano working on a new funky groove or searching for that next elusive line of lyric.
Eric and Roddie first teamed up as musical colleagues when they were teenagers - and their musical partnership continues today. Together, they have been writing music, exploring different musical venues and touring internationally for more than a decade. Email Eric.
