Eric Stone grew up on the beaches of Texas. At 21 he followed a dream that took him to the beaches of Florida (The Space Coast). He performed there for several years until moving to the beaches of Hawaii. It was there that he met Jimmy Buffett, who was performing at a benefit for the victims of Hurricane Iniki. Eric asked Jimmy what was the most important step he should take to further his own music carreer. Jimmy said 'Just play the kind of music you really love, because if you love it, it will show and soon others will love it too.' Eric took those words to heart and continued writing and performing the music he loved. His original music can be described as Caribbean Country (heavily influenced by Buffett).

Eric now resides in Nashville, Tennessee where he writes for several publishing companies. He has also established his own company known as Boatsongs. Boatsongs is basically what it sounds like, a business that provides songs for boats (Boatshows and the like).

Eric is the official entertainer for the N.M.M.A. Strictly Sail Boatshows. His most recent shows include: Strictly Sail Chicago, Strictly Sail Miami and Strictly Sail New England.

He is available to perform anywhere in the country, including the Caribbean.
