Eric Daly on SoundBetter

Chicken Pickin' is the best! Hire me for for your country song to get that good ole vibe

My name is Eric Daly. I've been playing music from the age of four. My main instrument these days is the electric guitar. I have many artists that have influenced my sound over the years that include anything from Brad Paisley to Joe Walsh. I play mainly 50s to 90s country and modern contemporary, however, I am very open to any genre. I also play MULTIPLE INSTRUMENTS from Ukulele to an upright bass. Not only am I a musician, I am also an aspiring mix engineer and have been dabbling, researching, and perfecting skills for a couple years now. Anything you need, there's a chance I could fill the roll.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.
