Eric McFadden

Eric is a guitar player hailing originally from some dusty, dry little place in the American Southwest. Rumor has it that he walked out into the desert for 40 days and nights, ate a whole lot of cactus juice, and came back a better guitar player, than, well anyone you've ever seen. We first saw him in his band Liar, in San Francisco back in the Gay Nineties. He was so amazing that he inspired the head booker at the Paradise Lounge to start a label and put out his first album.

Seven years, several bands, many tours, hundreds of shows, three pairs of Levi's Jeans, 28 guitars, approximately 400 postage stamps, and a whole lot of burritos later, Eric is often the mandolin and guitar player for the world-famous George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic, as well as touring player for Eric Burdon (the Animals, War). He's been on tour for his whole life. If this ain't enough reason to buy every record in the fortune catalog, then we'll be downright hornswoggled. We're hoping to chase this wild bull down and lasso him into the studio for another album, so keep checking back.
