CoffeeHouse Concert: Eric Ramsey
CoffeeHouse Concert: Eric Ramsey
Eric is a powerful performer and consummate storyteller. With soaring vocals and organic arrangements, Eric writes from experience about the human condition - at times sensitive, at times humorous, always thought-provoking. His arrangements and delivery encompass a spectrum of styles, from delicate fingerpicking to raucous, bluesy bottleneck slide. Eric Ramsey won the 2022 International Blues Challenge Winner in Memphis Tennessee, the 2022 Wildflower Music Festival Peoples' Choice Award, and is a two-time champion of the Phoenix Blues Society's Blues Showdown. He is the winner of the Stefan George Memorial Songwriting Contest, a four-time featured performer at the Dripping Springs (TX) Songwriters Festival and has been tapped for the prestigious Songwriter's Showcase produced by Tempe Center for the Arts, filmed for PBS distribution. He has self-released five CDs and is a favorite on the Folk and Blues Festival circuits, not only for his dynamic performances but for his open tuning and slide guitar workshops. Coffeehouse Concerts showcases local and regional talent with an emphasis on original music each month from September through April. The series features a variety of acoustic, contemporary, and traditional styles of music. This concert is arranged and hosted by Jo Berger and presented with funding from the Friends of the Prescott Public Library.
