New Interview With Guitarist Eric Sardinas Online Now
New Interview With Guitarist Eric Sardinas Online Now
In a brand new exclusive interview with Eric Sardinas conducted by
Nightwatcher's House Of Rock, the Los Angeles based hard rocking blues
guitarist discusses his brand new album 'Eric Sardinas And Big Motor',
released on Steve Vai's Favored Nations label, his musical influences,
working with legendary producer Eddie Kramer, appearing with Led
Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant, and much more.
An excerpt from the interview follows below :
Nightwatcher's House Of Rock : You have a brand new album, 'Eric
Sardinas & Big Motor' out on Favored Nations, which is your first
album since 2003's 'Black Pearls'. Why did it take 5 years between
albums, and are you happy with the response the album has been getting
so far?
Eric Sardinas : The reason that there was that amount of time between
releases was the fact that we had an incredibly strong tour schedule.
For the last 12 years I've been on the road, 300 nights a year. The
opportunities to record were scheduled, then things would happen that
would make those opportunities not work out. Time passes pretty quick
that way. There were a lot of songs and a lot of things which were
envisioned for the record, but to make a long story short, the songs
which ended up being on this album developed through that time. 'Black
Pearls' was kind of a skin shedder for me, and I really wanted to
raise the bar within myself for this new album. I think I'd have to
say that I'm happy with the outcome of the record.
Nightwatcher's House Of Rock : What has been your most memorable gig
so far in your career?
Eric Sardinas : That's a rough one man. A really tough question to
answer. I think I have too many to name. About 5 years ago though
there was a festival in Europe, with B.B. King, Robert Plant and
myself. Robert ended up flying out earlier than expected, so he ended
up going on before me. We just sat in the back and talked for an hour
and a half, drinking Budweisers, at around 10 in the morning. What a
great morning that was. Seeing him watching me from the side of the
stage before going to the airport, B.B. being there, being able to
hang out..,it was a misty morning, and that was really good, there was
a good energy. You can't find that very often.
