Eckie

You wouldn't expect THIS much energy to come out of a solo acoustic singer / songwriter. Eckie redefines the word intensity by hitting the acoustic rock scene hard over the head and not stopping until someone is knocked out. Take in the passionate lyrics of Jeff Buckley, add in the fire of Stevie Ray Vaughan, let Radiohead be the special guest referee, and you get Eckie - plays acoustic guitar until his hand bleeds, literally.

While attending Rutgers University in New Brunswick he rocked the coffeehouse / bar circuit, played in New York City with the rock trio Seifer, played alongside local hero Michelle Citrin, and still managed to graduate in four years. After a brief hiatus to cut down the dreaded student loans, Eckie is back in full force with a fresh 6 song EP "Eckie (plays guitar)" that bleeds with love, hate, and everything in between.

Regardless of a crowded bar, an intimate coffeehouse, or a simple storytime for kids, Eckie's soulful voice, high-energy guitar playing, and quirky stage banter keep crowds of all ages captivated, leaving everyone smiling as if they were the ones performing. When looking for a prime example of having someone tell / sing a tale like no other, you get Eckie (plays guitar).
