Erik
(Vocals,Guitar,Cajon,Kazoo)
History: It all started at a deer camp in Northern
Michigan with a wide-eyed kid watching his old man pound out classic oldies
on an old 12-string. A self taught guitar player
and singer since high school, Erik has been a closet musician first on the
private bonfire circuit and eventually graduating to various contemporary
Christian bands and efforts as his work has taken him around the country. Now
with Reclaimed Wood, Erik has the privilege to play with guys that love
acoustic harmony as much as he does - and to hopefully bring along the audience
for that one last chorus...
Influences: The Eagles are front and
center. Mix in some Seger, Indigo Girls and anything in the new Americana
genre. If it's got harmony and is played unplugged, he's all in.
Chris
(Vocals,Guitar,Bass)
History: A passion for acoustic oriented rock
music hit Chris hard as a teenager and hasn't let up since. A basically
self-taught guitarist and sometime keyboard player, he's performed with duos,
trios and larger bands from Massachusetts to Florida and spots in between. He
is an award-winning singer/songwriter and recording artist who has been
involved in producing/recording several CDs along with his musical wife,
Daya, who he met as a street musician. With Reclaimed Wood, he gets back to
sharing with audiences the harmony, great songs and acoustic guitar tones
that inspired him on his musical path.
Influences: Started with my father playing
the piano and mom singing harmony at family gatherings; then listening to
records, CSNY, Moody Blues, Cream, The Animals, Beatles and my father's
Dixieland jazz music being played in the house as well.
Dan
(Vocals,Guitar,Bass,Harmonica,Shaker)
History: Dan grew up in a small town outside of
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He started to play guitar as a teen and
hasn’t stopped since. He has bounced around the country and played
music along the way—solo in the coffeehouses of Seattle, in a classic
rock band in New Mexico, in an acoustic trio in Maryland, and in too many
other configurations to list. He is equally at home presenting his own
material or an interpretation of another artist’s song.
Influences: The songs of his initial
influences—Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and Steely Dan sound as good
today as they did back then.
