SINGER / SONGWRITER / GUITARS:
Eric Wennerstrand (AKA Mr. E)
​
Eric studied flamenco guitar at age 8 and this accounts for the percussive and pummeling portions of his guitar style. Eric was exposed to broad variety of Classical Music and Modern Music by his father and brother and this led him to study classical music composition in college. Eric says that this early exposure gave him a broad musical pallet.
After college, Eric played in various bands in Northern California including The Grunge Band, N.U.G. and Surreal Humans in Tune. After moving to Brookfield Wisconsin, he helped form the Rock Bands Benzona, and Von Din. His Bass playing with Benzona gained him recognition by the music blog The Rhythm Authority; among great artists such as Barry Sparks of the Band Dokken. In recent years Eric sharpened his metal guitar skills with band Beer Fish. He gained experience performing on large concert stages at the Milwaukee Summerfest, opening for Foghat, with The Freddie Band and with Von Din at the Milwaukee Germanfest.
In 2011 Eric began work on his acoustic Alt. Rock project E is For Epic, when he drew upon musical influences from Psychedelic, Punk, Metal, Hard Rock and Grunge genres. Influences sighted include Radio Head, Bob Dylan, and early Pink Floyd. Eric says he also borrows musical ideas from classical, folk and pop music. He says, "I try to keep the music I write sounding fresh and current. I do so by listening to new and modern music and integrating those sounds into my own music palette."
