Album Notes

The music of Erik Balkey is reflective, intelligent, tasteful, finessed, sparse. Balkey has captivated audiences with his trademark delivery - a mix of honesty, intimacy and humor. His performance features an agile voice and thoughtful lyrics accompanied by sparse and deliberate acoustic guitarwork.

The Two River Times has said, "He's definitely got something going on... it's his simple, raw nerve, emotional honesty. Erik Balkey shines!"

Erik Balkey's sophomore effort shows an artistic maturity and worldly wisdom not present on his eponymous debut album. "Negotiations and Compromise" is a carefully-written, beautifully-produced gem for the sophisticated listener.
