Eric Demmer, a Gulf Coast Records label artist, received an invitation to play saxophone with the legendary guitarist Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown in 1993. He remained a member of Brown’s band until Brown passed away in 2005. Eric won the 2021 and 2022 Blues Music Awards for his participation in the category of Best Blues Rock Album. Those albums are “Rock N Roll: A Tribute to Chuck Berry” and “Resurrection” by Mike Zito. He was nominated for the 2023 Blues Blast Magazine Award in two categories: Best New Artist Album Debut and Best Horn Player. Eric’s sound is a blend of high-energy blues, funk, and rock-n-roll, and his music is a fusion of various musical styles and influences. In November of 2022, his album "So Fine" debuted at number five on the Billboard Blues charts. "So Fine” is a personal and professional expression of his relationships. As Demmer says, “My message is simple: I want to remind everyone that authentic music comes from the heart and soul”.
