Eric Himan with Aiden James March 20, 2007

Himan burst onto the indie music scene at the beginning of this decade, acoustic guitar blazing, soulful baritone wailing. With a voice like Cat Stevens, inked arms that out-sleeve Tommy Lee and a guitar style akin to fellow indie artist Ani DiFranco, he was an young man on a mission.

From the very beginning, Himan broke the mold of the soft-spoken, earnest folk troubadour. His performances were filled with electricity and power, but his lyrics betrayed a vulnerability and sadness that sharply contrasted with his bad boy appearance. The combination remains irresistible to audiences. Eric has come a long way in the six short years since his humble beginning entertaining crowds in colleges near his alma mater, Penn State University, including releasing 5 studio albums through his own independent label, Thumbcrown Records and touring extensively.
