Career

Deepfield

In 2002 Eric formed Deepfield with Baxter Teal. By 2003 they were signed to In De Goot records/McGathy Promotions, and began to produce their first record. However, Eric soon left the band after becoming more and more drawn by the producing, recording and studio process.

Shinedown

Bass joined Shinedown in 2008, before the release of The Sound of Madness, as a permanent replacement for Brad Stewart. He did not record the album with the band (the album's bass parts were contributed by noted session bassist Chris Chaney), but is now touring with them. In addition to his bass duties, he also plays the keyboard in concert and contributes backing vocals.

After producing a few singlse for the band, such as "Diamond Eyes" and Cut the Cord, in 2018 he produced Shinedown's sixth album, Attention Attention, and in 2022 he produced their seventh album, Planet Zero in his new studio, "Big Animal Studio".
