BIO
Since 2006, when French native, Eric John Kaiser, has moved from Paris to Portland (Oregon) he has logged every year close to 10,000 miles via air, land and sea. Exploring North America on multiple lengthy tours, he has gigged his way up through Canada and down through the South, as far as New Orleans and Washington D.C., where he performed as an “Artist in Residence” for the Smithsonian Museum. Sometimes driving his trusty Subaru under the wide Montana sky, sometimes riding the subway under the New York City canyons... Then jetting across the Atlantic to tour through France... His music has logged as many miles and picked up accents from across the American landscape: his latest songs resonate now with a very American rhythm, like bouncing across the vast plains on horseback… some western guitar sounds... some dirty roadhouse blues…
Eric John Kaiser has released 6 albums and several Eps. His album “Made In Gaspésie” charted number 14 at the Billboard World Chart the week of its release. He has shared the stage with the Welsh superstars the Stereophonics, toured with French star Tété (who has also appeared as a featuring artist on his album "French Troubadour") and the French band Revolver. French Rapper Fefe from the band Saïan Supa Crew also appeared on Eric John Kaiser's album "L'ODyssée".
