Eric Bannan brings stories to life with moving personal narratives, a sly sense of humor and a soulful singing voice. Eric is a husband, father, songwriter, storyteller, US Coast Guard rescue flight crew veteran,  back country adventure racer and cancer survivor with a masters in computer science. 

He has been called to share his art to inspire, motivate for positive change and build community. His music is rooted in folk, driven by foot-tapping funk and seasoned with the blues. With over 40 years of performing experience, Eric’s presentations are an energetic celebration of life, love and loss. Based in Pittsboro, NC Eric travels the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic states bringing the power of storytelling and improvisation to faith communities, festivals and front porches.

Eric’s new 2021 CD Sacred Spaces is a musical distillation of his journey through and out the other side of cancer. It’s a bold artistic statement with one foot in the singer/songwriter world and the other in vocal improvisation.
