Les Claypool's Duo De Twang - Jerry Was A Race Car Driver

Theosophy

Recorded LIVE at the Iowa City Public Library during a winter sing along. I wrote a heartfelt song of longing to be with family for the holidays.
Done in alternate tuning for the 5 string banjo.
Here's wishing you and your family & friends the Happiest of Holidays!

Banjoistically yours,
Jon Eric

I'll Race U Home 4 Christmas (LIVE at The I.C.P. L.)

After my banjo broke on 11/8/2012 I had to scramble musically to allow more 
of the creative process to shine that had not been illuminated in YEARS.
These may be sounds you have not heard before but they have been locked 
away deep in my soul until the idea of releasing a NEW project "Right MEOW!"

Adding more or subtracting less eventually...

Liquid Bliss (Flow Toyz Mix)

Best known for his banjo skills. Jon Eric's dedication, and years of playing have led him to become a legend in pushing the boundaries of what the banjo can sound like. "I love all types of music, but many people really underestimate what the banjo can do," he says as he breaks into a harmonic melting pot of jazz and blues. Jon Eric's expertise also includes vocals, guitar, dobro, and percussion. He is well educated in music production, performance, and currently teaches all over Iowa and in 7 (seven) different time zones on Skype to share his love of music.

To describe Jon Eric and his music, the ONLY true way to describe it,
is to see him play & sing for you LIVE! If you could imagine trying to touch liquid mercury, THAT best describes his music. Sometimes the music unfolds from his bluegrass roots into percussive cadence! Though difficult to put a finger on. The metallic and fluid singing and banjo work Jon Eric is best known for, is definitely playful enough to make your "temperature rise" into a dancing frenzy! 

Jon Eric WILL change your perception about how the banjo "should sound" & continues to be closely involved in his local community of Iowa City, and traveling nationally for performances.
