Band History

Award winning songwriter Eric Folkerth (yes it's his real name) finds metaphors in all sorts of life experiences: from dinosaurs and donut shops, to the birth of his first child. Audiences and critics alike say Eric is a spellbinding storyteller.

Eric has shared the stage with the likes of David Wilcox, Joan Baez, Tom Prasada-Rao, Cary Cooper, Terri Hendrix, James McMurtry, Jana Stanfield, The Burns Sisters, Rachel Bissex, Peter Mayer, Bethany Yarrow, Rhett Butler, Beth Wood, Brad Thompson, Elizabeth Wills, Bill Nash, Annie Benjamin, Jayson Bales, Tracie Merchant, Elizabeth Wills, and a host of Dallas's best songwriters.

Eric was a 2003 semi-finalist in the Wildflower Festival Songwriter Contest, a 2004 finalist at the South Florida Folk Festival Songwriter Competition, and a 2004 finalist at the Fifth Street Festival Songwriter Competition. His song "I Will Sing" has won three prestigious awards: Honorable Mention in the 9th Annual Billboard Songwriter Contest, Honorable Mention in the Great American Song Contest, and it was chosen for a United Nations project, "New Songs for Peace."

Eric's song "Prairie Chapel Road" has been called the "unofficial song of Camp Casey" in Crawford Texas, and has been downloaded over 3,000 times since August 2005.
