Eric Coomer sings from the perspective of a fellow traveler who understands well the doubts and frustrations as well as the joy and laughter this life brings. Eric has never been afraid to tell the truth in all its ugliness and beauty in his songs. Nearly all of Eric’s songs are autobiographical or biographical in nature. His songs shoot straight to the heart because they come from his heart.

A multi-instrumentalist and talented vocalist, Eric resists the common urge to classify his acoustic driven music, as it encompasses so many styles and genres. Artistically, his influences include Over the Rhine, Sixpence None the Richer, Simon and Garfunkel, Derek Webb, and many others. Never satisfied sounding like anyone else, Eric strives to be an original and veer away from the ordinary.

For nearly a decade, Eric has pursued a career in music with his talented cousin Jennifer in the duo JenEric. Now, heading out on his own, Eric has written over two dozen songs and is taking his life calling more seriously. In the fall of 2004, Eric quit his day job, as music buyer at Cokesbury Christian Bookstore, to pursue his own music full time.

Although not solely a worship musician, Eric regularly leads worship for his church, Grace United Methodist Church in Mt Juliet, TN and is actively pursued to lead worship by other organizations and groups
