Eric would like to thank CDBaby for helping him to sell CDs to more than 15 states and more than 10 countries around the world all by word of mouth and without a record label.
Eric Milano's self-titled debut, released independently in 2004, marks his first solo effort. Formerly the lead singer of Ten Degree Lean, (New York City based pop-soul-blues rockers), the band called it quits when bandmate Chris Pickford was killed while saving lives as a fireman during the World Trade Center tragedy.
Inspired by the memory of his charismatic and talented friend (always called "Super Chris" by his chums), Eric decided to go it alone in the studio. Taking on the vast majority of the performance, recording, mixing and songwriting, Eric became his own back up band and rocked his songs to life during the hot nights of the New York City summer.
Comparisons to The Wallflowers, Ben Harper, John Mayer, Counting Crows, Matchbox 20 and Ryan Adams have all been thrown his way, but none truly describe his style. The record is a diverse collection of songs, no two sounding similar, yet all unmistakably branded with Eric's own sound; A sound that includes potent, emotive vocals, lyrics that flow from the soul, and music that'll grab your ear and hold on tight.
Eric's music is now also available "a la carte" ($0.99 per song) at the iTunes Music store.

"...His style is very appropriate to what this listing is asking for. Eric and his songs have commercial potential on the lines of John Mayer, Ben Harper, The Wallflowers etc..."
"...I really like this haunting piece--I like its simplicity and honesty. feels like it should be in a movie..."
