Heath Eric in Concert

The Opryhouse

All Tickets $10

A quintessential Kentucky Folk Artist, Heath Eric grew up in poverty in Western Kentucky. He began singing and playing guitar at age six on a guitar his grandfather bought for him. Today he uses his soulful voice - "steeped in truth, and earthly acoustic grooves" - to create his own unique and original, homegrown blend of acoustic soul music. His new, all original album, finally gettin' it, reflects on his life, love, pain, near self-destruction, happiness, and his love for his sons.

In this rare concert appearance to benefit TWO, Eric will perform with his band of regional musicians and special guest Jeff "Wildman" Hardesty.
