San Marcos, Texas will get a little extra out of this as well. The venerable groove center of the East Texas Music Universe is arguably The Triple Crown, in San Marcos, and Eric Sommer will be there for two shows while chasing steers in the Land of Texas.

Prepare, San Marcos. This is a little bit of slide, a bit of open tuning, a bit of Jerry Jeff, throw in some blazing acoustic lap-slap and neck bends... and top off with some John Lee Hooker flavored thumpin' and what you'll get is... vintage Eric Sommer.
And on Saturday, November 30th, Eric Sommer takes the stage for the evening at Wake The Dead, a listening room also located in San Marcos with a very easy atmosphere and great coffee and a rocking college crowd! Anyone who wants to see this remarkable player will have a few chances this holiday weekend.
Sommer is also the author of two collections of prose and commentary titled "Red Chairs" and "Black Pancake." Red Chairs celebrates the American experience with candid views of rural and industrial American life on the urban plains and the title poem is about "Waffle House." Black Pancake references a huge black thundercloud that hovered over the town of Newburgh, New York in the Hudson Valley.
These songs are visual fabric to the American narrative of freedom and creative expression, making message and content work effortlessly, interacting and weaving together a tapestry of sounds and emotions with superb technical skill and musical inventiveness.

Mr. Sommer's current project with power trio "The Solar Flares" shake up Chet Atkins and David Bromberg influences with those of Randy Travis and British Rocker Elvis Costello - a remarkable mix.
With open tunings, slide guitar, lap-slap tone guitar and a remarkably aggressive fingering style approach, watching Eric Sommer will make you jump out of your seat and holler for joy. There are very few players who have maintained this authentic American style of guitar and Eric Sommer is one of the very best.
