“When I write, I try to envision my live show and how the songs will translate to my fans.  Personally, I'm in a really good place right now, and I am sure my new material reflects that.  I am so excited to get these tunes out to everyone soon."
 
Eric Dodd, MV2 Entertainment singer- songwriter, CMT Discovery Artist, and Greensboro, Georgia native took his time moving to Nashville.  He wanted to learn the road first by playing shows wherever there were people willing to listen.  He wanted to know how it felt to travel and sleep in a van with a band and give it all to the grind...to the music.  For his first four years full-time in the music business, Dodd played over 500 shows by making his rounds on the SEC college circuit and around Georgia all while honing his songwriting skills.  Between 2011 and 2014, he released four albums independently to his loyal, grassroots following, and the word kept spreading and still is.  “It’s like a muscle, you have to keep working it.  Whether it's writing songs or playing shows, it's all about getting to the people and keeping in touch with them."  
 
Growing up a talented golfer, Dodd earned a golf scholarship to Georgia College and State University.  Although golf was his first love, he was more was in love with music.  
In 2015, Dodd began working with one of his best buddies and high school bandmate, Jesse Triplett (Collective Soul's lead guitarist) who produced Dodd's 2016 release, ‘FUN / FIRE/ RAIN.’  Later that year, Eric was picked as a CMT Discovery Artist. Dodd's video for the party anthem, “Outskirts” reached the #1 spot on CMT’s 12-Pack Countdown twice.    The singer-songwriter’s positive vibe and feel good lyrics combined with the soothing tone of his voice and impassioned guitar skills is continuing to win over crowds wherever he plays.   “I always aim for my shows to be engaging.  Music is an escape from reality, and I want to give people that and take them on a trip during the hour I get with them,” he explains.   
 
Dodd has shared the stage with Jake Owen, Old Dominion, Sam Hunt, Zac Brown Band, and most recently Sister Hazel, Corey Smith and Cole Swindell.  “Opening up for Sister Hazel's sold out show at the Georgia Theatre in Athens (Georgia) has to be one of my favorite moments onstage.  I earned my music business degree from UGA so it was one of those full circle moments,” says Dodd.  Stay tunes for updates on Eric Dodd's new release hitting Spotify and iTunes early 2018.
