erikGneave loves music. He loves to express himself through song. He loves to get on stage and meet people where they are, to bring a smile to their faces. Raised in Sheboygan, WI he combines Midwestern simplicity with heartfelt introspection to make songs that not only make you smile, but make you think. Erik has played for a variety of audiences and occasions throughout the Midwest as well as in the Boston area. In live performance he leads the audience on a journey through a world filled with laughter and tears, faith and doubt, lofty dreams and shattered expectations. He sings about real life and you feel real emotion. In high school his rock band, amalgam, won many competitions with Erik as lead singer, bassist, and co-songwriter. One prize included being flown to Colorado to meet Columbia Recording Artist, Train. After a year at college studying music, he realized that at this time in his life he just wants to write and play. erikGneave has a gift and he wants to share it.
