  Eric Hofbauer - Dukes of Hazzard
Download   |   Stream

Guitarist Eric Hofbauer has been called "the heir to the avant-Americana throne" (Jazzreview.com) thanks to his 2004 solo debut, American Vanity, a diverse, acoustic guitar-driven exploration of American cultural pride that led The Wire reviewer Philip Clark to write, "His acute irreverence is powerful and expertly judged." Eric is also a member of the Blueprint Project, whose 2004 self titled debut recording featured bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Matt Wilson, and inspired Coda's James Hale to call the group "not only a meeting of the minds but a communion of the soul." He performs with Charlie Kohlhase's Explorer's Club (formerly the CK5) voted "Best of Boston, Local Jazz 2003”. Eric frequently tours in the US and has performed internationally, including the North Sea Jazz Festival. Eric has performed with Han Bennink, Cecil McBee, James Moody, Gunther Schuller, Muhal Richard Abrams, Garrison Fewell and Matt Wilson.
