Hailed as ‘one of the best guitarists of his generation’ by the Trierischer Volksfreund after his European classical debut at age 24 (Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez), guitarist Eric B. Davis is gaining recognition these days for his guitar work in mediums ranging from classical recitals and soloist with orchestra to session work in the areas of pop, rock, country, and Latin. Eric was the first classical guitarist to graduate from The Juilliard School where he earned a Master’s Degree and studied with renowned guitarist Sharon Isbin. Eric's other major teachers include Michael Lorimer, David Tanenbaum and Aaron Shearer.

As a classical artist, Eric has performed both solo recitals and chamber music throughout the United States including national tours with recording artists ‘Trio Sonata:’ a flute, oboe and guitar trio. In New York he has performed at Weill Hall in concerts of Brazilian music as well as with Ecuadorian guitarist Terry Pazmino; Merkin Hall with members of the Manhattan Chamber Orchestra; Alice Tully Hall with the Partch ensemble and the Juilliard Opera Center orchestra under the direction of Julius Rudel. Eric also performed at Lincoln Center’s ‘Focus’ festival, and performed in the United States premiere of Toru Takemitsu’s chamber work ‘Valeria.’ As an advocate of new music, he has also commissioned works from American composer Eric Funk and German composer Christian Jost. Internationally he has performed recitals and as soloist with orchestra in Germany, Italy, Spain, Venezuela, and Brazil.

Eric is equally at home with pop/rock styles. He has recorded and/or performed with Lucy Kaplansky, Nina Gordon, Jay Emmanuel, Leslie Clemmons, and gospel performer CJay Philip. Eric toured nationally with the show The Light In The Piazza (2006-2007). He performed in the world premiere of Billy Porter's Sondheim revue, Being Alive, at the Westport Country Playhouse. He has played on the Broadway shows Grease, Mary Poppins, Spring Awakening and The Color Purple. Eric currently holds the guitar chair for Next To Normal on Broadway. Eric also enjoys performing with his wife Susan, a violinist. They have released a relaxing CD, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep: An Album of Classical Lullabies.
