About Eric Steckel

Born 1990. Eric Steckel is an American singer, pianist, musician and guitarist (magazine).

Eric Steckel (born 1990) is an American blues singer, guitarist, songwriter, and record producer. To date, Steckel has released 12 albums, and toured worldwide sharing the billing with Steve Vai, Gregg Allman, Johnny Winter, John Mayall, Ray Charles, Larry Carlton, Robben Ford, and others. In March 2024, Steckel was voted number 55 in Total Guitar magazine's list of "The 100 Greatest Blues Guitarists of All Time". In 2021, Steckel was named one of "10 Future Blues Stars” by Guitar Player. The collection contained three tracks written, or co-written, by Steckel. A year later he became the youngest musician to perform with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, having been invited to play with them on stage, following his own appearance in the 2003 Sarasota Blues Fest. The following year, Steckel recorded with Mayall in Los Angeles, providing guitar work on one track on the latter's Road Dogs album Steckel's next own album, High Action, followed.

Steckel then issued several studio and live albums, including Feels Like Home (2008), where he employed the percussionist Duane Trucks on drums. The album's overall sound evoked the feel of 1970s southern rock. In 2012, he recorded the studio album, Dismantle The Sun. In 2015, Steckel made his first transatlantic studio album, when Black Gold was jointly recorded in Nashville, Tennessee and Amsterdam, Netherlands. Grandview Drive (2020) took the 'bluesmetal' sound onwards, and included full Steckel production credits, before the COVID-19 pandemic curtailed activities for many. Steckel has been featured in Premier Guitar, Guitar Player, Guitarist, Guitar World, Classic Rock, The Morning Call, The Intelligencer, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Times Herald-Record, Sarasota Herald-Tribune, and The Florida Times-Union. International press includes a feature in the Haagsche Courant. He has appeared on NBC 10, Comcast CN8, SNN6, and Reuters TV. Later the same year, Steckel undertook his first tour of the UK for eight years. He commented "I've been on the road since I was 12 years old and there’s no place on Earth I'd rather be than on stage. I am beyond thrilled to be finally returning to the stage in Spring 2022". In April and May that year he performed across parts of Europe, and recommenced those activities in September and October.
