Eric Himan is so grassroots, his face is green. Though his music tells a different story. Without the help of record labels, booking agents, publicists, or management, Eric Himan is touring to more places, getting great press coverage, and still has time to run his record label, Thumbcrown Records, home to his six studio albums. He just released his newest (selling out of his first shipment before the drop date), Resonate, and has five years of solid touring in the US under his belt. Magazines in the LGBT community took notice right away (The Advocate, OUT Magazine, Instinct) and newspapers (such as the Boston Herald, Pittsburgh-Post Gazette, and Phoenix New Times) interviewed him to find out what makes this work horse stay in the game despite obstacles such as major label artists, rooms that are booked by big agencies, and finding his audience.
Fender Guitars even recognized his talent by not only endorsing him but featuring him in their 2004 Fender Catalogue. As he toured more frequently, he began to appear on Sirius Radio's OUTQ Channel and his music videos began heavy rotation on MTV's owned LOGO Channel. This led to a nomination for music artist this year at the NewNowNext Awards where he appeared alongside Cyndi Lauper, Project Runway's Christian Syriano, and pop sensation, Leona Lewis.
His music draws comparisons to male artists such as Maroon 5 and John Mayer but also female singer-songwriters, Ani DiFranco and Tracy Chapman. He is on his way to your town and you would be a fool to miss this much charisma. He will have you singing along to his songs till your blue in the face, or should we say green.
