Album Notes

taking cues from artists such as; bill withers, stevie wonder, james taylor, eric clapton, tracy chapman, sting, and bebo norman...eric tipton has emerged as a blues/rock/pop/roots singer/songwriter without a true genre to fit in. playing the acoustic guitar in a finger-picking and percussive style all his own, eric channels artists like james taylor and eric clapton with smooth guitar play and with vocals always described as phenomenal eric follows artists like stevie wonder and bebo norman into a group of singers that are unstoppable.

one would think that without a genre it would be hard to reach the public or the fans. it seems, by the large crowds at all the shows, that the only thing needed here is music. music for everyone. music without restraint.

life in a new key. often described as a universal writer, eric writes about things that can't really be his life...until you get to know him.

"i write about heartbreak, about love, about life, and about friendship...those things are without a doubt what real life is made of...some people write about what they see, i write about what i live, what i feel, my emotions...without emotions we get a song that is nothing more than filler...nothing more than fluff, and if you need fluff, buy a pillow. that is what the album is all about my world and my stage...if all the world is a stage, find yours..."

let this passionate, intricate, heartfelt songwriter take you into the corners of his life with MYWORLD/MYSTAGE...available now at all the shows and soon on the website www.erictipton.com
