Eric Durrance made his initial introduction into the country music arena in mid-2008 with the release of his single entitled “Angels Fly Away” on Wind-up Records. Durrance’s CD, Angels Fly Away, was released in September 2008 and features five self-penned compositions and/or co-writes.
A multi-talented artist, who says he “learned how to play a little bit of everything” while growing up, Durrance learned to play the drums, guitar, and piano with his stepfather. His mom and grandfather taught him to sing harmony, and his musical inspirations (such as the Eagles) helped him to craft a sound that captures the hearts of all who listen. His first guitar was a Hondo electric guitar (black with a chrome whammy bar); he plays a Taylor guitar on stage now, and his all-time, dream guitar is a Taylor C-10 acoustic.
Eric’s music has been described as “naturally honest” with a voice that comfortably lends itself to a country repertoire. Eric has an edge that guys can appreciate and a voice and lyrics that make gals wax and wane. With his boyish charm and a subtle honey-coated twang, Eric achieves just the right balance of rebellion and southern gentility.
He just released his newest single entitled “Turn It Off” and the corresponding music video can be seen on television and computer screens world wide.

Eric, like the rest of his band, has strong feelings about his Dean Markley strings. He said:
“There are defining moments in every artist’s career that only come around once in a lifetime. One of those moments, for me, is when I got my string endorsement from Dean Markley. From George Strait to George Lynch (both of whom are my idols), it’s easy to see, only the best play Dean Markley! I am truly honored to play Dean Markley—the
strings legends are made of.”
