West Seneca's Eric Van Houten is now a Nashville resident pursuing his dream of country music superstardom. His 2022 full length album "Dreamers" (available everywhere music can be found) is gaining national recognition. His talent has been so recognized that country songwriter Chris Destefano, who's written #1 hits for Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, and MIranda Lambert, has started writing for Eric. He'll be back in WNY performing live at the Howl in the Hills concert August 6th at Holland Speedway. The show also features Gary Levox from Rascal Flatts. I'm admittedly rock n roll to the core but this interview impressed me enough to dip my toe into the country world and I was moved for sure. Enjoy it!

How many of us have played an instrument at one time or another? As a school kid, as a high schooler, cover band, original band? Most of us have had some sort of experience musically good or bad. So all of you should be able to relate to this episode's guest who has been classically trained around the world and found, pound for pound, one of the best orchestras in the US right here in Buffalo. That's why he's worked with the Grammy award winning and one of the most recorded philharmonics in the world, the BPO, since 1998. He's been in every kind of band including yes, marching. Walking and chewing gum are hard for some. How about marching in a choreographed maneuver while playing a difficult song. we discuss it. His stories are awesome as we explore the inside workings of a professional orchestra. We even talk about band camp. :) He played at my wedding as my bride walked down the aisle and is one of the most accomplished musicians in Buffalo. So, parents of kids who play, listen. He's got suggestions for you. Laugh and learn lots! Thanks for watching, enjoy, like, subscribe, and share. As always thank you!
