Bio

The world can be heavy. Life is inevitably going to hit each of us with hurt and loss. When Eric Lee Carpenter writes music, he’s aware he isn’t going to solve the world’s problems. But he'll do his best to make it a more joyful place through high energy pop-rock songs. Carpenter’s heart is all over the five songs included in his debut
2014 release, A Good Place to Start, recorded in Nashville by A-list studio session player and emerging producer
Matthew Melton. When a guy is singing so earnestly about choosing to view the world through a hopeful lens, it could
be easy to drop him into the run-of-the-mill, singer/songwriter genre. However, Carpenter’s lean toward a beat-driven,
uptempo guitar-pop, under a soulful rock vocal delivery is as primed for the dance floor as it is a coffee shop. As a talented multi-instrumentalist backed by a spirited and seasoned band, Carpenter has no problems keeping his crowd’s attention during his lively set of rhythmic, pop-rock anthems complemented by sing-a-long choruses, 808s and witty stage banter. “Writing songs that are fun and catchy is important, but it’s essential that they’re meaningful,” Eric says. “Life is hard, but if we step back for even a minute and look around at the people walking out life with us and the opportunities we’ve been given, there’s so much beauty to take in. It’s a great feeling to see people dancing along to songs that reinforce that kind of truth."
